Chapter Eleven

The next morning Krista was refreshed and energized. She barely noticed the pulsing white blanket of thick San Francisco fog. The clunky, dismembered train and its hard seats didn’t get her down, either. Even her newly coiffed hair immediately frizzing didn’t bother her in the least. She was flying today!

She’d been seeing Paul over the last few months. They’d been going strong with dates and hanging out now and again. It was a slow, mild way back into dating and trust. Paul was nice, no two ways about it. He wasn’t prone to outbursts of anger, he always thought of her first—well, often he thought of her first—and he listened when she spoke.

Krista had really tried to get out of her own way, quit second-guessing the reasons he was being sweet, and give in. She wanted to love him. She wanted to make it a thing with him. The problem was that, while he was certainly attractive, she was having a hard time with chemistry. They could talk and laugh, but…there was something missing. Thinking it was her fault, she talked to him about it, giving him a rundown of her current emotional state and difficulty trusting.

He said he was content to be a booty call. Krista couldn’t tell if he was joking, which was a bit unsettling because that wasn’t really what she was after…

She needed to see Sean but she also needed coffee. Being that it was his usual time for the break room, she headed there first. He wasn’t there, but a mystified Cindy was. She apparently didn’t understand why she was getting a smiling hello. By the “sniffing-shit” look on her ugly mug, she didn’t trust Krista’s good mood.

As well she shouldn’t.

As soon as Krista could, she planned on befriending Marcus and figuring out a way to get Cindy back for being such a fat cow. Now, however, she had more pressing things to think about.

Like a new opportunity!

Sean was at his desk with his perfect suit in place, his perfect hair just slightly disheveled, and a pair of perfect bags under his eyes. That was about when the record needle screeched off its perfect track.

On closer inspection, it looked like a ghost haunted him. He had a five-o’clock shadow and a wildness about his eyes that wasn’t there yesterday.

Krista gingerly knocked on the partially open door.

He looked up.

Krista was struck by a blast of unresolved desperation. It looked like something was eating away at him. His workload,
