ANSWER

There's something unasked behind the short silences and eye contact A secret yearning for revelation? A desire to be explored? Or just a hunger for gossip? Here’s a gift they haven’t received before: an invitation to ask. The intimacy of words. Has anyone ever offered more?

I thought you'd never ask
We met at work and laughed at each other’s jokes. We hung out at the office party and sat opposite some pub nights. But I had a different life after work and when my thoughts drifted, I’d force them back to what I was doing. It was better that way. Anyway, there was a roommate, or something, and I didn’t want to ask. A year went by and it was the office party again. There were gifts. I got a coffee mug with a flowchart on it that ended with the word “Coffee”. Ha ha. Then, later, there was one beside me I hadn’t noticed. I opened it. 1 Answer. Honest. I looked up and from another table we made eye contact. I got up and walked over. I’d been rehearsing the question for months now.
