Two Hearts Are Better Than One
Chapter 1
Erin Gilbert was gathering files from her desk. She looked over, across the room at the receptionist, Kevin Beckman. She had liked him ever since she met him. Abby and the others could tell she liked him. Well, today, she would finally make her move and ask him out. She started to approach his desk, but then her nerves got the best of her and she sat back down. She got back into work. Right in the middle of working, she could feel someone standing over her. She looked up to see Kevin.
"Oh, God, Kevin, it's just you! You scared me," Erin said, clutching her heart.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just wanted to ask you something. I wanted to know if maybe you wanted to have dinner with me some time," said Kevin.
Erin's heart practically dropped. He was asking her out!
"Oh, um, that would be great," Erin said.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at seven," Kevin said.
"Um, Kevin, you already live here," she reminded him.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot," Kevin said.
This wasn't anything new. Erin and the others were consistently having to remind Kevin of something, whether it was answering the phone or telling them a client was there to see them. He even needed to be rescued half the time; for example, last month, during the Ghost Apocalypse, when he was possessed.
"All right, well, then, I will see you at seven," said Kevin.
"Yes, and you might wanna write that down so you don't forget it," said Erin.
"Okay," Kevin said, walking back to his desk.
"Oh, he is so not gonna remember," Erin said.
