Caught in the Heat of the Moment at Work...

I recently got divorced after three years of marriage that just wasn't working out. Since then, I've been starting over as a barista and trying to figure out who I am now without all those old chains holding me back. A new customer started coming in every day, tall, dark hair, and always ordered a latte with extra foam. We'd chat briefly at the counter each time he came by. One day after work, we ended up getting stuck together in an elevator for what felt like forever but was probably only ten minutes. He was so kind and friendly to me then, and I couldn't help feeling this intense attraction that I've never really had with anyone before. We started seeing each other outside of the coffee shop a lot after that, dinners, walks on the beach nearby, random spontaneous nights out when one or both of us were off work. It felt so exciting... but it was also sneaky and wrong in all sorts of ways. I'm not proud of what we did behind my ex's back, but honestly? I can't regret it either. We had this secret world where everything was just for fun and no strings attached. Even now that he's back in the city across town for work again and we only see each other once every few weeks, it still feels like a little taste of freedom from my old life.
