I usually sat in my office, making phone calls and replying to petty emails as an intern for a law firm. He was starting up his own company on the oth...er side of the state, and was always busy. Extremely bored, I was swaying my leather chair from side to side. I stared at the pictures of me and my boyfriend in the frames I had recently purchased. Someone gently knocked on my door. It was a soft knock. My boss always knocked aggressively. I was confused. I went to go open the door, but the man. I saw my mom was lying on the floor and asked her what happened, she replied “farsh par paani pada tha , maine dekha nahin aur gir gayee", I asked her "Kahi chot to nahin lagee” she said "Pair main bahut dard ho raha hai" so I advised "Haldi wala doodh pee lo" but she denied saying "Nahin, uski zaroorat nahin. Bas pair main bahut dard ho raha hai, lagta hai nas pe nas chad gayee hai" so I said her "Abhi aap thodi der rest karo". She tried to get up on her own but she fell down again and said. ”Missy rose and came around her desk. “Hello. Welcome. I think I talked to either you or your editor once or twice.”“Both, actually. First me, then him.”“Well, you obviously made it. You find us okay?”He nodded. “Yes, but I didn’t know you were actually so far from Baltimore.”I commented, “He got the county mixed up with the city.”Missy smiled and gave a small shrug. “They’re not precisely the same thing. You drive down?”“I flew, actually, but I wonder if that was such a good idea. We must be. He was closer now and she could hear him breathing in his ear, and feel the air from his mouth on her barely-covered shoulders. Mark softly stroked her ankle and moved downwards. Caitlin felt him unbuckling one delicate silver sandal, then gently doing the same on her other foot. All the time, her breathing growing shallower, she looked at the burning wood and the colour of the flames. Not watching made it even more sensuous. Quietly he asked, ‘Alright?’ Closing her eyes briefly and slightly.
