"Sure!" (originally by mirrors)

[Originally from mirrors]
“Sure..!” you say, hoping you don’t sound too eager. Alicia gives you a sideways smile as she turns to go back to her work

“Well, the I’ll see you there,” she says.

An hour later, while sorting packages, you bump a pen off of your table with your elbow. Surprised, you reach forward to grab it and accidentally step directly onto it, breaking it. While having a working pen isn’t really necessary, you’ve just gotten ink on the floor. Better clean it up before someone gets upset…

You make your way to the other side of the building and enter the supply room. For some reason, the narrow supply room stays much less hot than the rest of the floor. You debate whether you should look for cleaning supplies right away, or take your time and relax for a moment.

As you wipe the sweat off of your forehead with your sleeve, the door to the supply room opens. Alicia steps into the narrow room, coming to a sudden stop right in front of you.

“Oh!” she exclaims. “I didn’t realize you were here. I almost ran right into you.”

You give her a quick grin. “No problem. It’s a lot cooler in here, so I was just taking my time.”
