... sorry, Liv. I shouldn't have brought it up. I don’t know why I did,” Whitney offered apologetically, pulling Olivia out of her own head.
“No, it’s fine. I’m glad you told me.” Olivia ran a clammy hand through her short hair.
Whitney stared back at her friend with a look that landed somewhere between sympathy and pity.
“I’m over her, Whitney. Honestly. After how things ended the last time…” Olivia trailed off, reliving the painful memory of the last time she had spoken to Sophie. She took in a breath before continuing. “I’m not going back there again. I can’t and I won’t,” she said with resolve.
“Good. Because you don’t deserve that. No one does,” Whitney replied, placing a supportive hand on Olivia’s shoulder. “Just… be prepared, Liv. I’m sure she’s going to try to reach out sooner or later. She’s a creature of habit, so it’s only a matter of time.”
“Yeah, I’m sure you’re right.” Olivia sighed. “But you don’t need to worry about me. I’ve moved on.”

She’ll admit that she had been enamored with the young woman’s appearance from the moment she first saw her. The petite brunette, with her glowing golden skin and long chestnut waves - that Olivia now knew smelled of peach-scented shampoo, thanks to her getting perhaps a little too close to Nora this morning - had flitted through Olivia’s mind once or twice over the last few months she had been under the company’s employ.Okay, more than once or twice, but who’s counting?
But in her short tenure with the company, Olivia had noticed that, not only was Nora aesthetically pleasing, to say the absolute least, she was also whip-smart and creative as hell. Two things that made her very good at her job, even if she did have some issues with time management from time to time.
But Olivia hadn’t seriously entertained the thought of being with Nora in any way before today. Being a lifelong lesbian, Olivia considered her gaydar to be top-notch. Nora was quite femme-presenting and didn’t give off any of the obvious signs of being a member of the alphabet mafia, so Olivia just assumed they played for opposing teams.
But could Olivia have misread her? Their ...
