The next day at the office, things felt different. There was a quiet understanding between Emily and Nathan, a shift that neither of them needed to verbalize. They still worked together as they always had, but the air around them felt lighter, more relaxed.
During their lunch break, they shared a quiet smile when they passed each other in the hallway, a small acknowledgment of the conversation they had shared the night before. It wasn't anything overt, but for Emily, that subtle connection was enough to reassure her that they were on the same page.
In the weeks that followed, they kept their personal lives and work separate, as they had agreed to. But every now and then, they'd exchange a glance, or Nathan would offer a small smile across the meeting room, and Emily would feel a warmth spread through her.
Their bond was growing, but they both knew they had to be cautious. Office gossip was rampant, and the last thing either of them wanted was to become the center of it. So they kept things private, careful to maintain a professional front during work hours.
But outside of work? That was slowly becoming a different story.
