Pretty good progress on a few scores.

On the way to work, you think about the day ahead. You definitely want to focus on increasing the scores of Hana and Jan if possible. You'll have to be smart about it. Little things can add up. No need to be risky and try something big. Maybe by the end of the day, your score with Hana will be high enough to take a little chance. You laugh and shake your head. This is so ridiculous. Even a day later, you expect to snap out of it and find out that it was all just some whacky hallucination or dream.

Before going to work, you stop at a nearby coffee shop. You try to think of what you've seen Hana drinking from here in the past. Occasionally she'll come in in the mornings with a drink from this place. You seem to remember it being iced... also some whip cream on top... Looking at the menu, you look for something that fits your memory. After picking out something enticingly sugary, you order it and also get a few pastries.

Due to your detour to the coffee shop, you only arrive to work 15 minutes early. You quickly turn on real time notifications and head inside. You nearly bump into Jan in the hallway outside of her office. Your eyes flicker to the red 40 hovering above her head.

"Whoops! Sorry, Miss Whetstone."

Eyeing the coffee in your hand, she replies, "Watch where you're going, Frank..."

She glances at her watch and then back to you before continuing, "You're early."

You smile warmly at her and say, "Yep. I just wanted to get a head start today. I meant to come earlier but I decided to stop and get this."

You hold up the drink and bag of pastries. The score above her head changes to a red 38. Coming in early really works.

She does a once over of your body before saying, "Should you really be eating stuff like that?"

Ouch. That hurts. Don't overreact here, you tell yourself.

You laugh at your own expense and answer, "Oh you're definitely right. It's not for me. I got it for Hana. Just thought I'd be nice."

She narrows her eyes a bit and says, "I see... Well get to it then. We have a lot to do today."

You can tell that she's a bit suspicious about your new relationship with Hana and probably your intentions. To be honest... she should be.

Before she can walk into her office, you say, "Would you like me to get you something tomorrow?"

She turns and you can tell there's conflict in her eyes.

"I try to avoid stuff like that."

"Oh come on. With as hard as you go in the gym, you can afford to have a little cheat day."

"I don't know..."

"My treat..."

Her score changes to a red 35.

"Okay, fine, I'll just make up for it with some extra time on the treadmill."

"Alright just let me know what you want."

She eyes the drink again, "Just whatever that thing is. It looks amazing."

The two of you part ways and you head to your desk while she goes into her office. You look over your shoulder and see her score change to a red 33. Seven points in like 5 minutes? She might not hate you by next week! You smile to yourself knowing that you basically just tempted your boss with just some sugary drink. Jan comes across as being extremely health conscious. Once you arrive at your desk, you place the coffee and bag of pastries down next to Hana's computer. When she arrives a few minutes later, she does a double take and then looks at you questioningly.

"Frank, did you put this here?"

"Yup. I got it for you this morning. I've seen you drinking them before and figured you'd like one."

She smiles and says, "That's so nice... but why did you do that for me?"

"Well you were really lovely towards me yesterday so I wanted to thank you."

The score above her head changes to green 44. Six points for like a five dollar coffee? Worth it.

Sitting down at her desk, she says, "Why did I just decide to start being nice to you yesterday? I didn't know there were perks..."

You smile to yourself knowing that this was just the beginning. While there would be a few perks for her, there were going to be plenty for you as well. You turn to your computer and focus on your work for a bit. Hana sips her coffee and eats behind you. At one point, Hana rolls her chair over towards you.

"Frank, I just realized that I didn't offer you any. I feel kind of rude..."

"Oh it's fine. I got it for you. Besides, I should start watching what I eat now that we're going to be working out together."

She gives you a friendly smile and says, "Oh at least take a sip. It's really good."

Hana hands you what's left of the coffee. You look at her questioningly.

"Umm… just use your straw?"

She shrugs, "Sure. You're not sick, are you?"

Physically sick? No. Sick minded...? Probably...

"No..."

Hana watches as you take a sip. Her score changes to 46. It's a little thrilling knowing that she's had her lips on this for the last 15 minutes or so. She'd even chewed on the end of the straw a little bit. You finish and hand it back to her.

She gives you a cute smile and says, "We doing lunch again?"

"I'd be disappointed if we weren't."

Her score changes to 48. She gives you one last smile and sips on the straw before going back to her desk. So she's at least comfortable sharing germs with you. You can't help but think about what she'd look like with her lips wrapped around something else...

Wanting to impress Jan and increase her score too, you focus on your work until lunch. Working hard actually makes you lose track of time. You almost forget everything that's been happening. When Hana taps you on the shoulder, you're actually a bit startled at first.

She gives you a concerned smile and says, "Sorry. Everything alright, Frank?"

You gather yourself and stand up, ready to follow your new friend to the courtyard.

"Yeah I was just zoned out... Let's go."

On your way out, you give Jan another friendly wave and smile. She actually nods back, acknowledging your gesture. On the way downstairs, you quickly pull out your phone and check the favorites page.
