There is this guy I met sometime in my line of duty outside my station of work. We worked on a project for a week and we departed. I didn’t think much of him and I didn’t believe he also did.

I knew she liked me, based on the amount of time she spent talking to me since we met. This assured me that she wasn’t trying to get away from me per se. Maybe it was my question. “Have I made you uncomfortable with my question? You don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to.” I told her. She smiled again, the same…
