um, i liked you immediately. at the job interview. you seemed so.  important and mature. and i loved that you were helping all these people. you didn't come on to me at all. i liked that. i was tongue-tied around you at first. i wanted you to think i was smart. you were so nice. i loved the way you smelled. i couldn't wait to come to work. i had these fantasies of us being married and having kids and just.  . and so.  then.  when.  that one day, when i thought you looked at me back.  like.  oh, howie, i can't do this? how can i do this?
yeah, i know. oh, god. okay, well, i was so excited.
remember you bought me that little wind-up frog?
and you said.
"this is for your desk. just a little token"
i knew then.  i knew something was going to happen.  something wonderful.
