Hello. Been a while, I know. Had some fun this year – said goodbye to lots of people then started a new job and said hello to lots more people. (Idk why I didn't do this years ago. But then, there's always a right time.)
I've met almost everyone here, except a handful (of over a hundred). Quite a few I've got to know very well. And even of those I haven't met, I've said hello or something. But there's one I haven't spoken to. And who hasn't spoken to me. And each day we're making eye contact. It feels like the day is getting closer. No idea what I'll say – hopefully play it cool and be normal, not try too hard, etc.
I walked out into the lobby earlier and he was standing right there. I freaked out for a second and went behind to the bar and poured myself a glass of water (as though intentional). Fuck knows what he thinks – if I'm looking at him a weird amount or accidentally following him around. I'm not, really. Anticipating a hello, maybe?
