I have always had a crush on Amanda, the office manager where I work since I met her 3 years ago. Since then I have been in a remote location not going to the main office, but Amanda and I are still in contact several times a week regarding work.
Last week we had a come to Jesus sort of meeting to prepare for our company’s year end and I was so happy to see Amanda. I was surprised when I walked into her office that she got up from her desk and gave me a hug. She looked as beautiful as ever. We spoke briefly until her phone rang and she said we will catch up later.
Over the years, my former girlfriend and I traveled quite a bit and since Amanda was the one that approved my time off request, she would often ask me where I was going. Amanda has always wanted to travel, but with three kids and her husband not wanting to do anything, it was just a dream to her. Knowing that I made sure that every time I went anywhere, I would bring Amanda back a souvenir, just a little trinket like a refrigerator magnet or key chain.
