We removed our winter gear together in the foyer of my condo, hanging up coats, slipping out of boots and setting them on the mat to dry, pulling off gloves and scarves and all that. Henry set her backpack down near the door. Although I had a pit of anxiety building up inside of me from all the negativity I’d been feeling at work, seeing Henry made it all almost dissolve. Almost. Although my passions were cranked up by just being near her, the logic in my brain was trying to figure out what my body was doing.

Henry scooted in further to my condo wearing dark green surplus-style pants, tight against her legs and tucked into some heavy-weight wool socks, a white button-down blouse splattered with colorful floral prints up top, and she kept her winter cap on her head. I felt so drained from my day, even as I watched how animated Henry was, and I craved a glass of wine. But I had gotten rid of all the alcohol in my condo, so I simply resolved to let that craving pass.

“Did you have a good day at work?” I asked her, following her toward the living room.

“Yeah, fine,” she said. “I was at my office all day just doing remote stuff. I love the days when I don’t have to leave the office to go to a client. It’s far too cold out anyway to be running around the city.”

As Henry eased herself down onto my couch, I continued on through my condo and into the kitchen to put a kettle of water on for tea, taking out cups and teabags for the two of us.

“Honey?” I called,

“Please!”

Armed with our mugs, steaming with the hot water, I moved back into the living room and put our tea down on the coffee table. Henry beamed up at me, her glasses halfway down her nose. I smiled at her with a bit of pain.

“Is everything okay?” Henry asked me, her face changing to mirror mine.

“Henry,” I said softly, sitting down next to her, our legs touching. I gently placed my palm on her thigh.

“Oh no,” she said. “I’ve been in this situation before.” She slid away from me slightly and had a defensive look in her eye. “You’re going to end this, aren’t you?”

“I just—“ I said, searching my brain for my words. But I felt so strained that it was difficult to figure out what I was trying to communicate. I didn’t even know where I was going with this. “I like you, Henry. I’m crazy about you. But—“

“But…” she said, interrupting me, raising her brow.

“I’m worried,” I said. “I’m worried about work and how this,” I said, motioning back and forth between us. “Affects our relationship at work.”

“But I barely even work with you,” said Henry, her body still standoffish. “I mean, I’m at your office once every six months, sometimes not even that, and it’s pretty much always at night or on a weekend.”

“I mentioned you to one of my coworkers,” I said.
