A/n: This is the halfway point in today's updates...JSYK;)

My mind reeled from all the information that had been thrown at me over the past four hours. Thank goodness it was now lunchtime.
As the rest of the staff started to leave for lunch Maria asked me if I wanted to join them at the local diner across the street.
"No, thank you." I politely responded because I knew I needed some quiet time, away from all these people.
"Okay, if you're sure." She said with a shrug and walked towards the door.
I went to the restroom and then left the office.
Just as I approached the stairwell door that same soft voice called to me, "I wouldn't go that way, the door on the main floor has a tendency to stick and you could get trapped in there."
"Oh...thank you for the warning." I said and turned back towards the elevator.
We stood there in silence for a few seconds. "Are you new here?" He asked and I turned to him and nodded.
"I'm the new dispatch operator." I said.
"I'm Edward Cullen, and I work as an accountant at Amun Enterprises." He stuck out his hand and smiled at me.
"Bella Swan." I reached out and shook his hand. His hands were soft and his fingers were so long.
The elevator dinged and we quietly walked into the lift. The silence that settled around us was comfortable. Almost like we were both happy at the mere company on the ride down to the lobby. Neither of us expected anything more.
"It's really nice to meet you." He said just before we parted ways at the front doors.
"You, too." I said and walked out into the heat.
For the first time in my life I started to hope that maybe, just maybe it was that simple.
A/n: About to leave work so it might be an hour or two before the next update...
What do ya think? Should they both hold on to hope?
