liked someone at work for a stupidly long time. not in a cute romcom way. in the 'i know her coffee order, her meeting tells, and when she’s about to say she’s fine while absolutely not being fine' way. she was with someone else, so i stayed useful and kept my mouth shut. now she’s single and acting like anything that happened between us was just breakup fallout. problem is, i was sober. i meant every word. so, honest question: can two adults cross a line and still pretend they’re just coworkers, or is that just the coward’s version of HR compliance?
