Chummy

Over a number of months, they spoke frequently on the phone.

He worked in an office at one end of the country and she in an office at the other. From the word go they had hit it off. He always looked forward to contacting her, with her happy, sing-song voice. For her part, she looked forward to his calls, with his calm voice and friendly manner. In no time at all, their communications became quite chummy. For two people that had never actually met, they seemed to just naturally get along. This situation would have remained this way, if his manager hadn’t suggested he attend a one-day seminar in the town where she worked. He readily agreed to this and at the first opportunity, during a regular business call, gave her the news and suggested that during his lunch break they take the opportunity to meet up in a nearby café. Although he detected a slight hesitation on her part, it was arranged that they meet up at a given time and place.

On the day, it is hard to say which of them was more surprised when they met, but regardless, they found a table and settled down with a bit of small talk. After he had ordered their drinks and when the waitress had brought them to their table and when they had each overcome their mutual embarrassment, she was the first to smile.

She asked, “So, how long have you been with the company.”

“About a year now, I started straight from school,” he said.

She nodded and said, “I got the impression over the phone that you enjoy your work.”

“I do. It’s interesting and the company is good to work for.” His eyebrows went up, as he tried to keep his voice normal, he said, “And you; have you been there long?”

She giggled. “Most of my working life, actually. I retire next year.”
