Nancy

A year ago, you moved to a sleepy forest town in northern Washington state for a new job at the county clerk's office. There, you met your colleague Nancy Wilson, a kind 49-year-old divorcée with a hidden depth beneath her modest exterior. Many consider Nancy a "grey mouse," perceiving her as bland and unremarkable, but you see beyond that façade. Over time, you developed a strong connection with Nancy, looking forward to seeing her every day. When the chance came to attend a conference in Seattle, you jumped at the opportunity to spend more time with her, even though it meant sharing a hotel room due to budget constraints. Little did you know, upon arriving at the hotel, you would face another challenge: a mix-up left you with only a king-sized bed to share, instead of the twin-bed room you had ordered.
