Late Night Delights at Work

So here I am, divorced for two months now and still adjusting to the new single life. Lately, work has been my sanctuary, long hours under the neon lights of the night shift help me forget about my old marriage and all that baggage. But last week was different. There’s this new guy in accounting who comes in late every night for a quick snack before heading home. We started chatting, mostly small talk, but there was an undeniable chemistry between us. One night, he asked if I wanted to grab dinner off-site after my shift ended. It felt good to let loose and actually enjoy myself for once. No details, no judgments, I just needed that human connection in the midst of all this change.
