Bloom
“He’s not much better. His eyes follow me as I walk across the room. Half the time he gets up the minute I walk in and stands beside me as I pour the coffee just like he did the first day.
He grabs my hand as we walk into town. I glance at him. “No one we work with is out this early,” he says with a small smile. “I think it’s safe.”
I’d like to ask what ‘it’ is exactly — are we just a fling? Are we dating? Is he hiding this because of Ginny and Dan, or because he’s ashamed? But I say nothing. It’s childish, I suppose, but I worry that asking for specifics will end up stripping pieces away rather than contributing. If it’s only a fling or if he’s ashamed, I just don’t want to know.
Our schedules mysteriously change so that they are almost exactly the same — we close on the same nights, work lunch on the same days. I’m not sure how it isn’t clear to everyone that something is going on.
