Nothing Happened, Technically

It all started with glances.

Amidst the constant clicking of keyboards and the overlapping voices inside a busy office, two new colleagues exchanged quiet, fleeting looks before they even learned each other's names.

Eventually, they became seatmates and somehow, everything felt effortless after that. Their humor matched too well, conversations came naturally, and the space between them slowly disappeared. What began as harmless companionship soon turned into something everyone around them noticed.

Their coworkers teased them constantly, convinced it was only a matter of time before they finally ended up together.

But some stories are never defined by what happened. Sometimes, they are remembered for everything that almost did.
