Texting turns into calling which turns into flirting and then sending photos I never thought I would take - much less send to my boss. Weeks go by and I feel like the world is weighing down on me, everyone knows my secret, and I am crumbling apart. I understand my place and quickly approach Jacob about the situation at hand. I establish boundaries and do what is best for myself, not what is best for pleasing my boss. I am more focused and more productive at work. Before I know it, I have a placard and a permanent desk. I updated my LinkedIn and find myself walking into work - cappuccino in hand yet this time for myself - every morning to a job a love and a place I have grown to feel comfortable in.
