As I pull into the freshly painted parking lot, I spot a plethora of plaques, with various names engraved, glistening in the morning sun. After a moment of admiring the well-kempt aluminium, I realise there are dedicated parking spaces for each employee of Syntec. With little hope, I circle the parking lot, seeking one with my name on 'Deborah [redacted]' . A spark of joy pierces through my tough outer shell as I spy my name. They must really care about their employees if they already had my plaque made. My heart starts to race as I comprehend that I haven't met new people in fuck knows how many years and have kinda forgotten how to talk to humans. I gather my thoughts, and my belongings, and stride into the cool air with a confident attitude pasted across my face. With every pace, my courage fades to the point of stumbling through the door. My mood is instantly lifted by the handsome man that met my gaze. Instantly, everything is totally erased from my mind except his immaculate, lustrous eyes. "Hey, you must be the new head of testing for site 1! It's great to meet you. I'm Wesley Nathaniel, co-owner of Syntec." He says passionately, presenting his hand for me to shake. Like the nervous wreck I am, I give him a high 5. I splutter "h..hi, I'm Deborah." As I look into his eyes, I know that our hearts beat as one.
