Absent

As I grabbed my locker key I made small talk with the front desk guy at the gym. "Did you miss me?" I asked. "No, of course not," I teased. "You didn't even notice that I wasn't here last week!"

"Oh, I noticed," he reassured me. "I notice when all my...attractive gym goers aren't here."

"Suck up!" I accused as I walked away, shaking my head. Here's a man who sees me only first thing in the morning. Hair always in a pony tail and make up never done. I really don't get it. Really.
