It was a normal day just as it always was or at least that was what is started out as. Daniel grabbed his coffee at the same place and the same time as he always did. He ordered the same order he always did and met the same people in the elevator at work. It was one of those nice warm summer days and the warmness of the day that had fallen on the city seemed to invade Daniel's mood and so he found himself whistling as he got off the elevator once it reached his floor. He walked confidently towards his office whistling with a huge smile gracing his face, excited not only with the day but at the thought of seeing Betty.
As he walked through the office, Amanda went running through and Daniel quickly moved around her before she could run into him and spill his coffee.
"Watch out Amanda" Daniel called out to her as he turned around to continue walking to his desk when he ran into someone else and the coffee went spilling all over his shirt.
"Hey" Daniel called out angrily as he looked down at his shirt now wet with his coffee
"I'm so sorry Daniel" Betty called out apologetically as she started to wipe at his shirt
As soon as Daniel saw it was Betty his look softened
"Its ok Betty, that's why working at a fashion magazine has its benefits. There are always extra shirts around" he said as he smiled softly at her
Betty smiled softly at Daniel and then softly said "Sorry"
"you know you should watch where you are going" Betty said
"Wha- me?" Daniel started to say and then laughed and said "I think I'm going to go and change my shirt" as he smiled and walked towards his office.
When Betty got back to her desk she sat down and sighed. The day had just began and already she felt completely distracted. It wasn't just Daniels' coffee, but a lot of other mistakes she had done so far. She sighed and looked up to see Daniel had changed into a different shirt, not the blue silver stripped one he had on before, but a violet one. Daniel looked up through the window and smiled and waved at Betty, Betty waved back with a small wave. Betty just couldn't concentrate and she knew it had everything to do with her conversation with Henry last night. Henry had told her that he was leaving for Tucson and while Betty knew he would eventually leave, she didn't know it would hurt as much as it did. She thought by having time to prepare she would be ok with it, that her heart would be ok but she found out that she wasn't as prepared as she thought and now that the realization of Henry leaving had become real, she found herself and her heart hurting. She tried to keep herself busy so she wouldn't have to think of Henry leaving but she found her thoughts kept going back to Henry. She sighed and went back to work.
