ESCHEWAL YAWNS. I REALLY hate Mondays, he thinks. He only had four hours' sleep, and now he is sitting in front of his computer screen, wishing his private spaceship would beam him up.
He rubs the corners of his eyes and blinks twice. He feels his brain hurt; the tiredness is killing him from trying to stay awake.
He closes his eyes for a moment and contemplates, 'I might have to put some poisonous caffeine in my blood to keep me awake.'
As he opens his eyes, in steps a girl, who he thinks is Manna. His heart skips a few beats; he is now fully awake.
The office manager introduces the girl, "Hi, everyone. This is Reasha, the new temp. She'll be with us for a few days, so please make her feel welcome."
The office manager directs Reasha to her desk, two desks behind Eschewal's desk.
It is like falling in love all over again. Reasha wears her hair the same way as Manna, thrown back away from her face revealing a beautiful smile with straight white teeth. Reasha is about the same height as Manna, her shoulder dropping just beneath Eschewal's armpit. She smiles as she steps past.
Eschewal sniffs, and a sweet scent of peaches hits him. He nods and thinks, 'Yeah, lunchtime, I'm gonna make my move.'
