Discovery

Email to Amanda:

Come up here. I’m going to do you-know-what before we get coffee.

Response:

Seriously?

I Respond:

Yes. Seriously.

Amanda arrives at my cube. “Alright, are you ready?”

“I guess so,” I say.

We walk down the hall to our destination. “This is suppose to take two to three minutes, but I don’t think we need that much time. Look at this.” I instruct her.

“Oh my God!!! That’s what mine looked like too.” Amanda chuckles.

“Are you laughing at me, because it’s not funny.” I say, feeling hurt.

“I’m not laughing. I swear. I’m just shocked. I wasn’t expecting that.”

“Well, how the heck do you think I feel?”

“I know, I know. I’m sorry. I’m not laughing. Are you okay?” She asks sympathetically.

“I’m okay. Let’s go get coffee. I really need some right now.”

“Okay.”

"Wait, what should I do with this? Keep it?" I ask her.

"I don't know. I suppose you could keep it. It's really up to you."

"I'll keep it. I guess I'll just stick it in my purse. I'm not sure what else to do with it."
