Arriving at work

When you finally arrived at work, you were disheveled and out of breath, your thoughts still a jumble. As you walked into the office, Sarah was the first to greet you. She took one look at you and raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

"Rough morning?" she asked, pointing to your hair. "Looks like you forgot to use a comb."

You reached up, realizing your hair was a mess, tangled and unruly. "Yeah," you mumbled, trying to smooth it down with your hands, "I overslept."

Sarah chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Well, good thing you made it in time. Penny’s got a meeting lined up later, and she won’t be happy if we’re all not prepared."

You nodded, trying to shake off the lingering embarrassment from your rushed morning. As you headed to your desk, you couldn’t help but feel a little off-kilter. You put your stuff down and head towards the restroom to tidy your hair.
