you want to...be with me…?”
    “Yes,
I did,” he said. “Very much so. I have wanted to since you started working in
this lab.”
    “Why
didn’t you say something?!”
    He
looked at me strangely. “I just told you why. Because we work together.”
    “You
still should have said something! I’ve been waiting for months for you to ask
me out! You’re lucky your uncle bailed you out!”
    Simon
grinned. “You mean
you’re
lucky he bailed
you
out,” he said. “That was his concoction you drank last night, by the way. It
was based on your unique physiology, so it can't be mass-produced, but he's
sure it's the foundation for a possible product. He’s really fascinated by what
happened to you.”
    “Dr.
Cormick made that formula for me?”
    “Yes,”
said Simon. “I explained the situation. He understood.”
    “Umm…you
told him…
everything
…?”
    Simon
chuckled. “Yes, everything. Even that. I had to. He would have known if I was
trying to hide anything. Anyway, he isn’t prudish. He was more fascinated by
the cause and effect. He’s actually looking forward to this study.”
    I
was beginning to understand just how far Simon had stuck out his neck for me. A
warm feeling was blooming inside me. “Thank you, Simon. For everything.”
    “Don’t
consider it a free ride, though. You won’t just be eye candy over there. He can
be quite demanding.”
    “I’ll
take my chances,” I said, putting my hand on his. “I think it’ll be worth it.”
    And
then he kissed my swollen lips.
