For the first time in weeks, I’m cranking out work with no distractions. It feels good. The reports are compiling, the bunnies are wiggling, and there are no migraine inducing flickers above my head.

Harry is a life saver. I should get his actual number so I can text him directly next time this happens. That would seem too forward, though, wouldn’t it? He might think I’m hitting on him when I’m not. There is absolutely no attraction there.

None.

Nope.

Nothing at all.

Okay fine, there is some attraction.

A teensy, weensy bit.

You can’t blame a girl for having eyes and Harry is hot in a blue-collar, not afraid to get his hands dirty, probably the best kind of maniac in the sack kind of way.

No, Felicity. No.

No, no, no.

I will not begin lusting over Harry. I have a date with Steve tonight.

Steve, Steve, Steve.

But Harry…

Harry, whose low baritone of a voice is what Hallmark movies are made of. With a broad chest and dimple in his chin, and a five o’clock shadow. Deep, easy laugh.

Thinks I’m funny. Didn’t care that I was babbling about the British Royal family like a whacko.

Harry, who is tall and funny and smells like a dream. Okay, he smells like cooked meat, but I think he’d probably just had lunch. It’s not his fault if onions have an adverse effect on him.

My hormones can overlook it.

Althoughhhh… Steve could very well be a catfish or serial killer while Harry is obviously real and has been vetted by HR.

STOP, Felicity. Give Steve a chance before jumping ship and jumping Harry.

And before you do either of those things, finish this report.

You are here to work, not work on finding a boyfriend!

I push my glasses back up my nose and continue cross-referencing numbers, making quick work as I go. It’s amazing what a little distraction free lighting can do for my productivity. Too bad the heaters seemed to have kicked off again.

Leaning over, I put all my brainpower into this report as I pull to get the bottom drawer of my desk open.

I yank. I jiggle it.

I heave.

The damn thing is always stuck!

“Ugh,” I grunt as it finally gives way, scowling into it. “Are you in cahoots with the tampon machine in the restroom? I swear it sticks just like this. Isn’t that a medical hazard or something? I should probably call Skeeter again.”

I grab the blanket I have stored for days like today and wrap the zebra print around my shoulders. My office is the perfect temperature during the summer months, but around this time of year, it’s like the heater stops working.

Sufficiently bundled, I take a quick sip of my milk.

“Ahh.” Delicious.

Yep. Still ice cold. It’s going to be a long winter if this office is such an ice box it keeps beverages cool, but oh well. I got the most pressing issue fixed today. I call that a win.

“Knock knock.”

Speaking of winning…

It’s Harry, sticking his handsome, smiling face inside my office.

“Hello there stranger.”

Oh god. Did I just say that, in
