A few weeks passed since she begun working for the union. With the other journeyman walking off the job, they were stuck working together. He worked her harder than any other, because he didn’t want the others to think anything. When most of the others went home, they stayed after, talking.
She only stayed because she hoped he would notice her. She didn’t know he felt anything. They would sit talking and eat pizza in her hotel room. She would tell him stories of how she got where she was, and one evening, he decided, “what if I stay to work all weekend, then I can show you with no one in the way the right ways to get things done.”

Deadline was coming. So he stressed his apprentice needed to work faster, atleast that- he could tell his boss.
She was excited. “Something new to enhance my ability -why not!”
Saturday morning he walked out of his room, she already waiting across the street waved. He was glad she was eager, today the site completely empty, just the two of them.
