“If you think that was terrible, just wait until I tell you the one I had last night in bed when I was-”

“I have to go now, Aiden. See you in an hour.” I hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

I needed to shake the happy off before I went inside. It seemed horribly inappropriate to be blushing and aroused at a meeting concerning how to charge my boss with sexual harassment. I pushed the door open and looked around. A middle aged man with designer stubble in a white button up and jeans was sitting in the corner. He gave me a little wave when he saw me.

I walked over to him. “Nathan?”

He stood up and extended his hand. “You must be Lucy.”

I nodded.

“I didn’t know what you wanted or I would’ve gotten you something,” he said.

“That’s okay,” I said, deciding I could trust him based on his kind eyes and his clean fingernails.

“Back in the day people were happy with regular or decaf, but now it’s impossible to guess.”

“I’m good actually, and I really appreciate you meeting with me so I won’t waste your time.”

He held his palm out towards my chair and sat back down across from me.

I placed my purse in my lap so it would be easy to dig out a pen and paper. “I’d first like to thank you for answering my post.”

“Thank you for seeking justice.”

“Did you seriously just say that?”

He shrugged. “I know it sounds cheesy, but you wouldn’t believe how many people don’t speak up about this kind of thing.”

“Well, I should’ve sooner.”

“The important thing is that you did, and I’m going to do everything I can to help you get this guy.”

“Thanks.”

“I have sisters and daughters and if any guy, especially their boss, made them uncomfortable at work the way you described in your note-” He shook his head. “Let’s put it this way, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to put a stop to it.”

“So where do we start?” I asked, pulling out my pen and paper.

Nathan pulled a thin pair of glasses out of his pocket and slipped them on. “How about at the beginning?”
