She stands at reception
“I have a meeting with..”
he is walking past
sees
and interrupts, with

“me”

“Yes. how are you?”
he nods fine and smiles
she speaks,
accent rich

about the meeting

He is distracted, listens to
stay focussed, then

they talk in the company of
the others
for an hour, maybe more

Afterwards he sees her to the door
but
even in the good light
isn’t sure
if attraction in mutual
and whether or what to say

She leaves
departure to separate desks
for the moment
maybe longer
