The Stationary Cupboard Incident - F4A - Romance - A Kiss We Don’t Talk About

This was not how I thought tonight would go. I was supposed to finish up a bit of overtime, clear my desk, quietly vanish into unemployment. Instead, I am very much locked in… with you. Which would be fine, perfectly fine, if I wasn’t in love with you. Or if I hadn’t kissed you at the Christmas party. Or if I hadn’t just thrown a chair through a window trying to escape my feelings. So. That’s where we are. Alone. Trapped. And apparently having dinner together. At the same time. In the same room. But not together. Obviously.

🧑‍🎤 Speaker Teaser
I’m not panicking. I’m just locked in a building with the person I’ve been desperately trying to avoid because I really, really like them and I’m very bad at hiding it.

🎧 Listener Teaser
You’ve always been too calm. Too kind. Too... there. And now that you’re still here, and we’re alone, I don’t know how to keep pretending I don’t want you.
