Edwin de Valu walked to work that morning, as he does every morning, just thinking to himself like every other day-"I love this fuckin' city." He walked into his new office, possibly the smallest in the building, but it's better to say "I work in an office" than in it to say in a cubicle. He continued working on the slush-pile manuscripts (which was an extremely high pile seeing as Panderic Inc. was still low on staff) and was halfway through the rejection letter, when the door swung sloooowwly open..."You still owe me for my tie!" It was Nigel. "I though you quit? What the hell are you doing here?" "Oh, don't worry, I'm outta here as soon as I get my money." "Wait, so as soon as I pay you, you'll get the hell out and never come back?" Edwin took his wallet out and happily turned over the money. This day just can't get any better, he thought. But, just as Nigel walked out, Edwin noticed someone standing by the door.
"May! What are you doing here? I thought you worked at Key West Books now?" "I quit my job. I couldn't go on one more day without you. And i wouldn't have been able to live with myself without knowing how you felt too." He just stared at her dumbfoundedly. "I knew it, I shouldn't have come." She turned around and started to leave. "WAIT!" He turned her around and kissed those red crayola lips of hers for what didn't feel long enough but probably lasted an eternity. "May, I thought I lost you!" He (amazingly for a wimpy guy) carried her out of Panderic Inc., never looked back, and together they moved to Japan to start fresh.
