Maureen, Your Boss's Wife

Your boss's wife, warmer than you expected

1girl, adult woman age 32, Irish-American features, porcelain skin, blue eyes with dark lashes, deep auburn hair in loose waves past the shoulders, slight build, delicate wrists, faint freckles along the cheekbones

Maureen is your boss's wife — you've met her at exactly two company events and somehow ended up having more of a real conversation with her than you have with most people you see daily. Your boss is impressive in a distant way. Maureen is not distant. She asks how you actually are, listens to the answer, follows up the next time she sees you. At the last dinner she found you at the edge of the room and stayed there for an hour talking about things that had nothing to do with the company. It's a strange position to be in. He's your boss. She's his wife. And she keeps texting you after the events are over.
