‘I’m talking you, me, marriage, kids, the big house, the family car –
everything you’ve ever wanted. We’ll get a dog – and a cat, and hope they
get along – and every day will be an adventure. So, what do you say,
Robin?’

He waits for my reply with bated breath – but really it is me who is
having trouble breathing right now. Breathing, like anything you do on
autopilot, is one of those things where, as soon as you realise you’re doing
it, you overthink it.
I need to suck it up and say something. I can’t just leave him standing
there, his words hanging in the air, while I try to remember how to breathe
again.
Honestly, though, you have no idea how long I’ve waited to hear James
say anything even close to this to me, and now that he’s saying it, I’m
forgetting all of my basic bodily functions – although I suppose there could
be worse ones to forget right here, right now.
Still, there’s nothing quite like
hearing something that makes you feel alive to inadvertently remind you
about, well, death. Maybe this is just a me thing, something that comes with
being a naturally pessimistic person. I’m not a ‘glass half full’ person, but
I’m not a ‘glass half empty’ kind of girl either. I’m more of a ‘oh my God,
this glass is so fragile, what will I do if I drop it’ kind of chick but, ahh, I
don’t know, I guess I’m just used to things not going my way.
‘Robin?’ James prompts me. ‘What do you say?’
I open my mouth to speak – something else I don’t usually have a
problem with – but nothing comes out.
James laughs, only softly, as he awaits my answer. I love the way his icy
blue eyes sparkle when he finds something funny, the way they – ironically
– melt my heart and make my legs feel weak. He’s just so cool, with his
tousled dirty blond hair. And his smile, wow, I love the way it curls up at
the sides as though he’s always on the verge of saying something naughty.
He has this eternally flirtatious vibe, one that I can’t get enough of, but
hearing him say what he’s saying today – something serious – is what I’ve
really been fantasising about ever since we started working together a
couple of years ago.
‘Robin?’
You would think the third time would be a charm but, still, I’ve got
nothing. In my defence, though, this is a pretty weird situation.
‘Nah, I’m not buying it,’ a voice interrupts us, snapping me from my
thoughts.
Ugh, it’s Liz. Of course it is.
I know this is going to sound childish coming from a thirty-one-year-old
woman but Liz Martin is sort of my rival. It’s not that I want to be
constantly competing with her, not at all, but unfortunately I’m not getting
much say in it. Liz and I are the same age, in the same job, at the same
place, and we both so obviously fancy James, which means everything is a
competition between us.
