CoCo

We’ve always just worked well together. Never gave it much thought beyond worker-to-worker relationship. One night I had packed up my desk and was heading out. He comes down the hallway and says, “I know you’re leaving but can I ask you a quick question?” I say, “Sure.” He says, “Do you want to go out Friday night?” I say, “Like in what context?” He says, “Like dinner…and maybe a movie?” (Lightbulb, 'that sounds like a date?') I say, “Thank you but I actually already have plans and heading out of town for the weekend.” He says, “Well, maybe when you get back?” to which I reply with, “Yeah maybe.”

On my drive home I kept recalling every encounter in like the 2 years I have known him. Have I put out miss signals? Did I miss the signals? Was he really into me like that or am I tripping?
