Tuff Love

As she pulled up to her place of employment,

she chained up her bike and headed straight 

for the break room. 

She began taking off all her winter gear

and realized just how windy it really was outside. 

 The strong aggressive gusts of wind had almost

blown her completely off her bicycle

while riding towards work.

Then amidst her trying to recalibrate her lost balance, 

she almost crashed into a fallen down tree branch.

Luckily enough,

 she only worked 6 minutes away on bike.

Otherwise she might have not made it. 

 

Once she was on the clock and at her register, 

as she began working, 

the computer before her kept blotching up.

They eventually had to reboot the whole system 

in the end because it locked up. 

In addition,

when they moved her to a totally different

register,

that register too ended up glitching up right away.

She couldn't help but wonder, 

was the Northwest wind that came howling in

with her,

wanting to change things up?

She couldn't help herself, and allowed the sly smile

she was trying to hide so bad, 

just completely burst free. 

She looked at her co-workers and said, 

"I hexed it!"

Then she laughed her evil laugh and walked away.

She knew they talked about her behind her back.

But she also knew that

You're nobody, until you're talked about.

😉

When she went back to the what was now a freshly 

rebooted register,

 she turned to see if the man in all Black 

was at his usual table. 

But he wasn't there. 

She knew though deep inside,

 that the very next day;

Valentine's Day... 

He would be there. 

But she couldn't be. 

Wouldn't be. 

Because with the howling wind

that she rode through tonight came her answer. 

And she was definitely not one to 

go against her intuition.
