late shift love story

started working nights a few months back and it's lonely as hell. i mean, my wife tries her best but she works too so we don't see each other much anyway. one night this guy comes in, late like always, looking all rough and ready. we hit it off quick and before you know it... well, let's just say it got a little heated between us. not literally on the counter or anything wild like that, but there was definitely some serious flirting going on. i kept thinking about him after he left, couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to be close to someone. guess being alone so much at work makes me crave human connection in ways i didn't expect. and no it wasn't just the chemistry, although that was a big part. it's more like how we both understand this job can make you feel real isolated sometimes.
