Of Patience and Secrets

Adult crushes have the potential of being messy, that is widely known. The butterflies in the stomach, the racing heartbeat, the stealing glances when the other is not looking... One might say it is not entirely in an adult's repertoire of daily functioning. Thankfully enough, crushes do pass by easily.

But having a crush on your workmate when you are an adult is another level of disaster. As they say, "Don't shit where you eat."

But when Daniel Marquez waltzes in her incredibly comfortable life, Trinity's world turned upside down.

And she was the last to know it.
