Never Too Busy for a Date

“I guess…” Ace replied vaguely.

I nodded my head slightly as I turned to stare up at the large screen. The commercial that we made looked so touching and beautiful up there that it made me feel sentimental about it. I was probably biased and saw more than what was actually there because I could vividly recall the hard work and all that we had to go through just to put that work up there on the screen like that.

“Let’s head back to the office,” I suggested after turning to face Ace again.

“Are you free for dinner tonight?” he asked invitingly.

I stared up into his face as my heart started to race from excitement. He was just asking me out for dinner, but I couldn’t help but feel like it was something major. I was happy for a moment before I realized that with what was going on at work, it may not be the right time for us to go off on a dinner date together.

“Umm…are you sure that it’s, ok?” I asked as I hesitated.
