Thirty minutes of organizing and cataloging his stamps by year, Oliver, Shane, and Rita return from their lunch break. Rita skipped over to Norman's desk giving him his take out lunch as she greeted,

"We though you might hunger, Norman, it was so kind of you to volunteer and stay to manage the office while we are gone."

Oliver added, "Yes, Norman thank you for dedicated service as always." as Oliver unbuttoning his suit jacket then placing on his coat rack."

Shane then added, "It was a shame, that you could not join us, Norman, Rita sure missed you."

Rita gave a bulged eye look out at Shane, Norman curious as the why Rita missed him was not that far away from her.

"Rita, why did you miss, I was not that far away, I was right here."

Rita didn't know how answer him, all she could say was, "Uhh.." then she decide to change the subject.

"Oh, I see you were organizing your stamps, again, how did you organize them this time?"

"By year, it is quite interesting how the postage stamp's cost has change since then.?"

Rita said, "I find it a shame, how stamps cost more than a can soda."

Norman agreed, "It is shame Rita, stamps should be free to use as it is a necessity."

Rita smiled as she like engaging these type conversions with Norman getting to know, falling even more in with him. But for Norman was happy to have a friend like Rita to understand him and talk with about Stamps. Norman then went over to Oliver and asked,

"Since now that everyone has return, can we open a letter, and we do our job."

Oliver reply, "I admire your eagerness my friend, since you were so help why don't pick the letter."

"Really me, but you always pick the letter that is procedure." Norman added.

"Yes, but you deserve it to do the honor." Oliver patting him on the back.

"Thank Oliver, " For the first time, Oliver step back went beside Shane to watch Norman select a letter as Shane lend over and asked

"So how it does feel, Oliver?"

"How does what feel?"

"Step back for once, letting others besides you to take the lead for once."

Oliver sighed and reply, "I take pleasure in witnessing the people I care about succeed and do good, Norman is a good hearten man he deserves this honor, and one day, Ms. McIenery you'll get that honor as well.

Shane then pondered and thought out loud for Oliver for hear murmuring the following question "Wait minute, does that mean Oliver cares about me?"

Oliver than asked, "What was that? Ms. McIenery."

Shane eyes bulged out and taking note from Rita changes the subject, "Nothing, let see what Norman has in store for us?"

Norman looks the letter pile in front of Oliver's desk and pick a random of letter from the stack. Rita so happy and proud of she not contain her joy as she clapped and cheer for him telling him, "Way go to Norman, now amaze us, who wrote the letter?"

It took two minutes for Norman to realize he was looking at the back of the envelope an not the front so he flip over the front, and Norman's skin turn white, as if he saw a ghost and it not take long for Rita, Shane and Oliver to see something was indeed wrong, and Rita, had to know what was wrong so she asked,

"Norman, what is wrong, who is the letter from?"

Norman said nothing nor didn't even make eye contact with Rita, she pleaded once,

"Norman, please look at me, say something you are scaring me!"

Norman look at Rita, gave her the letter, asked, "Rita, this letter is address to me, from my grandmother, I have not seen or heard from in 5 years, please Rita, can you do something for me."

Rita placing her hand on Norman's shoulder, reply, "Anything."

"Read the letter to me, because I don't think will able to?"

She looked at Oliver to get his approval before accepting it, Oliver asks, "May I open it, before Rita, reads it."

"Of course, after all, it is procedure." Norman reply.

"Indeed."

Rita gives Oliver the letter he uses a letter opener his grandfather gave to him when he graduated high school. He slits the envelope and hands back to Rita.

Shane then asked, "Would like to leave you and Rita alone, to read the letter in private."

Norman said to Shane, "It doesn't matter, it is up to you."

Shane then got an idea and the prefect excuse to get Rita and Norman some privacy, She looks at her watch and says out loud rushing to Oliver, "Oliver, I completely forget we have an emergancy dance lesson to go to, to get ready for your competition next Saturday."

Oliver puzzled, "We don't have an emergency dance lesson. Do we?'

"You see that is why you have me for to remind you, let's go, Will be late."

Shane getting Oliver's suit jacket pushing him out the office to leave Rita and Norman alone.

After Shane was successful in getting Oliver out of the office it was Norman and Rita alone in office, Rita dreamed about this moment the two of them have never been alone the office before, just wish it under different circumstances. As Norman still looks like he has been hit by a truck, as he sat in his office, as Rita was standing saying nothing while griping onto his letter, Norman then said,

"I'm ready Rita, "
