An older man and woman have worked in the same building for many years.
He is Franklin G. Forsythe, the CEO: built the company with his own hands, is the epitome of success. He has never forgotten where he came from.
However, he is also a widower. It has been some years since his amazing late wife Sammy has passed. They had raised two grown kids who are now struggling with life a bit but are otherwise good.
He's warm, charming, friendly, etc. A wily silver fox, but the years of hard work and the loss of the love of his life have worn on him and retirement is just starting to loom in the far distance. His son is eager to take the reins, but Franklin fears he's not ready. Weary, he thinks, "What now?"
She is Kathleen "Kitty" Hoffman, a cleaning lady, now head of the crew, knows the ins and outs of everybody on every floor, including romances and a few other secrets. Easygoing but introverted, unobtrusive, but brutally honest, goodnatured, respectful but sarcastic; she takes no crap from anyone regardless of rank. Fancy things never impressed her. Never truly found "the one."
Well, and how could she? Kitty is a workhorse, often working 7 nights a week, the majority of her paycheck going to care for her ailing mother. Now her mother's physical and mental health have deteriorated to where she can no longer live independently. After having to live paycheck to paycheck for most of her adult life, Kitty now has something called free time, but fears the best years are behind her. What to do?
Both have noticed the other in passing. Sort of. And one, if not both, may have a tiny soft spot for the other but never acted upon it.
Until now.
