Glowing from her visit home and dressed in a green skirt and a cream, sleeveless summer blouse she knew Tate liked, Liza drove her Subaru downtown. As always, parking near Tate’s office was tricky, but as luck would have it, she found a space along the curb near the building’s front doors. Taking it as a good sign, she parked and headed for the entrance. Although Liza had hoped to hear back by now, she hadn’t tried to call Tate since that morning. Maybe another call would’ve been a good idea considering I am about to drop in on the woman out of the blue, she thought. But I think this will be fun. Of course, Liza had no idea if Tate was in meetings or would even be available, but she crossed her fingers. She would simply hope her timing was right, and she could keep the element of surprise. More than anything though, she wanted to see the look on Tate’s face when Liza came whisking into her office, all smiles and her heart happy.

Walking through the revolving door and into the lobby, her good day continued as she reached the elevators right as the car arrived. After a pair of men in serious business attire stepped out, she slipped in and pressed the button to go to Tate’s floor. She’s going to be so surprised, Liza thought with a smile. But I want her to know I couldn’t wait to see her. Humming along with the elevator music, she waited for the empty elevator to climb the multiple flights to Tate’s floor.

With her excitement mounting, Liza quickly navigated her way to the executive assistant’s desk outside Tate’s closed office door. Feeling a little disappointed when she saw Tate was likely in a meeting since the door was closed, she bit her lip. “Hi,” Liza said. “Sorry to bother you, but is Tate in a meeting?”

The woman glanced up from her computer terminal. “Oh, hi Liza,” the young woman said. “I’m surprised to see you here today.”

Finding the response unusual, Liza tilted her head. “And why is that?”

The assistant blinked as if realizing something might not be quite right. “Well, Tate took the day off,” she said after a beat. “She sent an email early this morning.”

Not sure she heard the woman correctly, Liza stepped closer. “What did you say?”

“I’m sorry, Liza, I don’t mean to get in the middle of anything, but Tate isn’t here,” the assistant said. Shocked, Liza simply stared. Took the day off? Liza wondered. When is the last time she has done that? And why did she do it today? Suddenly, Liza’s bright day turned darker. Tate had not answered her phone earlier and had not called back after the voicemail Liza left her. Tate wasn’t at work. So, where the hell is she?

“Thank you,” Liza said backing away. “I seem to have made a mistake.”
