Tim opened the door and his whole world just stopped. His body, his breath. His heart. They all ground to a halt and he stood there statuesque and staring at the girl smiling shyly back at him.

Sydney. Beautiful, blonde, and buxom Sydney. Tim hadn't imagined ever seeing her again. He tried to say hello and it just stuttered out like a shorting circuit.

What was she doing here? Was Steve there, too? Tim hadn't spoken to his work friend at all since the week before. They had actively avoided each other, actually. Oh fuck.
