Happy Birthday

Kathleen had a lot on her mind as she walked into her office. She waved at Dave distractedly before sitting down.

He was in love with her? Of course, she knew he liked her, but it was like hearing those words from him had taken a lot of burden off her shoulders, and now she felt light.

She felt at peace with herself after hearing that. What had been even more satisfying was the fact that he had also seemed surprised by his confession.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she thought of all he had said. 

"This one you're smiling like this, this kind early morning," Rosy said with a teasing smile as she stood in front of Kathleen's desk, making her wonder when they became friends that had such conversations. 

"What?" Kathleen asked, trying not to sound rude. 

"Calm down, na. Abi we dey quarrel? (Are we quarreling?)" Rosy asked, flashing her a smile.
