“Getting right to it” in this case meant leaving my office door open and going out into the main office to mingle far more than I would under other circumstances. With the door open, I could look out and see Daisy’s profile as she sat at her desk, and it seemed that every so often, I’d catch her watching me, though she’d always immediately look away when I looked up.

Around lunch time, she got up and disappeared, then came back with a lunch box, a soft fabric one, like a little kid would have. It was light blue with pink and purple flowers on it.

“I think we’re going to order some Thai food,” I said as she started to unwrap what looked to be a sandwich. “You want in on that?”

“Oh, no, that’s okay. I’ve got my lunch right here.”

“You don’t have to eat at your desk, you know. You can leave, or go in the break room.” Or go sit in Jonathan’s office. I didn’t say this last one out loud.

“I’m fine right here,” she said. “This way, I can do a little work, too.”

“Just don’t get peanut butter on the paperwork.”

She smiled but didn’t say anything.

I pretended that I was doing some work on the computer, but really, I watched her as she (neatly) ate her sandwich, followed by a baggie of carrots, a few pretzels, and finally, an apple. She caught me looking as she bit into the apple.

“I always save the apple for last,” she said. “It’s like nature’s equivalent of a toothbrush.”

Holy fuck she and Jonathan were meant to be. “Good to know,” I said. “Does Jonathan know that? About the apple?”

“I don’t know,” she said, shrugging. “Probably. He seems like he’d know that sort of thing.”

I couldn’t quite tell if that was a simply a statement of fact or a compliment.

“Where is Jonathan, anyway?” she asked. “I saw that he wasn’t in his office.”

“It’s Monday, so he’s out on call right now. He’ll be back at some point.” My cell phone started to ring. I looked down at the screen, then picked up the phone and carried it over to Daisy.

“Answer this,” I said. “Except don’t say Hard Tail Security or anything. Just say hello.”

She had a skeptical look on her face but took the phone from me and answered. “Hello?” she said again. She waited a second and then pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at the screen. “They hung up. Or the call got disconnected.” She handed the phone back to me. “Who was that?”

“Someone I didn’t really feel like talking to,” I said, taking the phone from her. She looked like she was about to ask me who it was that I didn’t feel like talking to, but then the office phone rang, and she reached over and answered it.
