The Mind Affair

The sound of Gene Kelly's voice was all that she could hear as she stood there waiting for her next task of the day. He invades her tasks at least eight times a day. She starting counting three days after she started working there. The days get so long and she barely speaks to anyone.
He walked past her and said hello. It caught her off guard. She replied with the same gesture only she wasn't even sure if she had said the word loud enough for him to hear. Her eyes did meet his and she smiled the friendly smile she gives everyone she comes into contact with there.
The days started to pass with the quickness and she found herself passing the time by staring at him every chance she could.
He wore suits everyday. She could have sworn it was the same suit, always the blue shirt and charcoal slacks.
