unprofessional when I expect a certain level of professionalism from
everyone else, but there isn’t a dating policy at work that says that people
can’t meet and date each other and fall in love. I know it sometimes makes
things messy, but I’m not going to decide that for anyone. It’s not right.”
“I wasn’t mad about any of that. I just thought you needed time. I can
appreciate taking things slow and I know the work situation can make
things complicated. No one wants to mess things up and then have to work
with the person they made a big mess with.”
“That would be awkward.”
“It would be.”
“It’s not going to happen to us. I know that already.”
Arabella’s heart pounded hard, but it was a good hard. “Yeah?” She tilted
her head and studied June. June smiled right back at her, which made
Arabella’s chest feel soft and warm and ultra squishy. “That’s a good
prediction. I like that.”
“I want you to know that I meant what I said. About the universe giving
you bad karma. If it turns out that’s a thing, we’ll deal with it together. I’m
not keeping score. It was never about scores.”
“That’s very generous.”
“It’s very realistic.” June gathered up Arabella’s hair and moved it over
her shoulder. She set her hand against Arabella’s chin, brushing her thumb
over her leaping pulse point. “I was never a scorekeeper anyway. Actually, I
hate sports. You know what I don’t hate? This. Us. Even if it is a little crazy,
even if it is kind of work inappropriate, even if my best friend still has some
doubts about you not being a turdbag. She’ll come around. I’m super
excited for my family to meet you. I’m super excited for everyone to know
that we’re awesome together and we’re only going to get more awesome.
I’m really excited because you bring out the best in me and I want to do that
for you.”
“You already have!”
