Happy to help, Don! This story is a masterclass in how to write about emotions. I found I was reading parts of this with my fists clenched, wanting to punch Schulz too.
We've all experienced those emotions - jealousy, anger, etc, mixed up with irrational thoughts. Don has managed to bottle all that and serve it up to us in a way that resonates.
Good work - again!
Girlfriend who flirts professionally is not erotic, just kind of sad. Didn't feel like much of a romance. The same thing will happen tomorrow and the next day, and so on...
To the person who said flirting is sad, you've either never been in sales or you weren't good at it. It's perfectly possible to have some flirting as part of doing business, it doesn't make you less of a person, it makes you someone who is aware of how the world works. I've done it and I'm a dude. I never crossed the line into unprofessional and tons of sales people have behaved similarly.
To the author, fun story! Keep them coming.
