I noticed when I started expecting it
That was. Inconvenient.
The night he asked me out was unremarkable.
Which is why I remember it clearly.
We had just finished a strategy review.
The crisis was stabilizing.
For once.
I was packing my things.
He didn’t move.
Just watched me for a second.
Then-
“Lydia.”
I looked up.
“Yes?”
“I’d like to take you to dinner.”
Straightforward.
Just that.
I tilted my head slightly.
Processing.
“You mean… as a continuation of this working relationship?”
“No.”
A pause.
Then, more quietly
“As something else.”
I studied him.
His hands were steady.
His posture relaxed.
But there was something else there.
Not pressure.
Not expectation.

Just… openness.
My life is complicated,” I said.
“I know ”
“You don’t know all of it.”
“I assumed there would be.”
I held his gaze.

Just long enough.
Men-
“Dinner first.”
We walked out together.
Not touching.
Not rushing.
Just… aligned.
And somewhere between the elevator doors closing and the car ride downstairs-
I realized something I had not planned for.
I was not just considering him.
I was already making space.
And that is always how it begins. 1
