Step 2:

Take the 1 male

And sprinkle subtly with affection


Ryan was typing up his quaterly numbers when she walked by his desk.

Pam.

She was just walking by to hand a message to Creed, but Ryan couldn't help but notice. He couldn't help but smell the trail of sweet perfume she left as she passed. Ryan wanted to look at her; to smile at her. To acknowlege her existence, and just talk to her like they talked just the other day behind the building during the fire.

But he really needed to finish up this quarterly.

It was halloween. He didn't bother dressing up, because well... he didn't really see the point. Everyone in this office acted strange enough that they didn't need to dress up for it. So far, he noticed Michael dressed up as a two-headed version of himself, Jim was a three-hole punch piece of paper, Dwight was a monk, Phyllis was a mixture of three different cats, Toby wore pajamas, Meredith looked like a zombie who underwent brain surgery, Angela was a white cat, Oscar was a woman, Kevin was a superhero, Devon was a hobo, Creed was a vampire...

Pam was a black cat.

But, not like the creepy cat that Angela portrayed, or the stereotypical black cats that were normally used on halloween. Ryan glanced over at reception, thinking. It was a cute version; the way it should be. Her furry cat ears and painted-on nose and curls spilling out over her shoulders were what made Ryan like her costume so much.

Adorable, crossed his mind, but he shook it out almost immediately. He suddenly remembered he was sitting in front of his computer, at work.

He really needed to finish up this quarterly.
