AH! C'est L'amour....

My coworker "Rupert" is in love with one of our managers, "K"

"K" is one of those women with a quiet, sweet demeanor, but wherever she goes you can always sense her solid, grounded, "mother earth" type presence, like an oak in the forest, but with singing birds in the canopy. Pretty and demure on the outside, intelligence and a tower of strength on the inside.

"K" has a set of big blue puppy-dog eyes. "Rupert" always tells me "Her eyes are as deep and blue as the ocean, and I tell you, everytime I look into them I'm lost at sea...."

"K" also happens to be a married mother of two, and that just makes her all the more adoreable for him. "Rupert" just LOVES caring, kind, and sensitive domestic types. He knows that for him it is all impossible, because he and she are both taken, and they're coworkers, but nary a day goes by when I don't spot him dreaming, pining for her.

It's really funny. When she comes up to give him instructions, he tenses up like a deer in the headlights, and he can barely stammer out a response. He then tells her "yes ma'am," and he'll move heaven and earth to get her orders done. That a slight, five foot woman can have such sway over a big, almost six foot man is just too cute for words!

It's a shame that such attractions happen like that, without hope of fulfilment. Ah, such is love.
