No, it’s the fact that your male coworker leans in just a little too close, murmuring a joke that you laugh at without thinking.

“We’re just friends. I promise.”

“You don’t need to explain yourself, kitten. I understand.” He’s smirking, but you can tell he’s being genuine.

“You’re…not jealous?” He huffs a laugh at your question, leaning down to brush his lips against yours.
