Sophia Laforteza never expected a glance across her office window to become the highlight of her workdays. But there she was-locked in an unspoken routine with the woman across the street.

And if it does... what then? A slow-burn workplace romance about missed chances, quiet longing, and the connections that change everything.

"I'd like to propose a toast," I raised my glass and looked around the room at the various expressions staring back up at me, "I'd also like to take this opportunity to clear something up." The room silences and every set of eyes were on me. I met a few of them before I had the courage to even talk again. "First off, I want to say congratulations to the bride, I love you mom."

I avoided the hands reaching for me through the crowd or the congratulations and 'lesbian' comments and headed straight for the bathroom. I was sure I was about to throw up.
