"You haven't been wearing your ring to work. So maybe they all know now and just didn't say anything."
She shrugged. "Well, if that's the case, I guess I won't have to worry about Alexis firing me for being a single girl working with her newly single bachelor."
Yeah, we probably shouldn't mention that to her right about now. Alexis would totally pick up on my feelings for Kate if she knew Kate was single and available to be on my radar.
I looked around the room to get the focus off me. "What about Oliver? When we were doing pickups the other day he commented on how nice you looked with glasses."
She blushed. "He did?"
Oh crap!I thought Oliver would be a good choice since he had about zero creep factor, but I hadn't considered the fact that Oliver was actually really cool and would probably be someone Kate would like.
I searched for someone else in the room who might deflect her interest from Oliver. "Or it could be Joe. He's cool, and you've spent some time together, too."
She seemed to study Joe for a moment, looking thoughtful. "Joe's cool. But I think I remember him saying something about his girlfriend. I doubt it was him, at least I hope not. I'd hate to be the person on the other end of someone else's breakup."
Maybe sending flowers hadn't been such a great idea.
Kate set the card back against the vase and smiled. "Whoever it was though, it was nice. I haven't gotten flowers since who knows when. I've been worried I might never get asked out again once everyone finds out that my marriage failed in just one month."
"That's simply not possible.” I shook my head. “I'm pretty sure that if anyone ever hesitated asking you out, it was only because they worried they would never be good enough for you. Maybe that's why Anonymous Flower Guy decided to stay anonymous for now."
She gave a noncommittal shrug. "Maybe."
