so this is Dan, the IT man, signing off and hoping to hear from someone who is open to possibilities and isn’t afraid to take a risk.
    “I could do this , couldn’t I?” she said to the empty room. “Yes because he’s going to want to have a happily ever after with a crazy accountant who talks to herself.”
    Slipping off her robe , she slips on her pretty new nightie, after losing the weight wearing pretty underthings just gave her a sense of confidence.  She put her laptop on the bedside table with Daniel’s profile open; went into her luggage and found the leopard print pouch, who needed fingers when you had technology available…right?  She decided to spend some quality time with her battery-operated boyfriend while fantasizing about Daniel being her real boyfriend. It’s not that this would be the first time, as he had been serious fodder for her personal spank bank for two years, but now she had a picture and she knew he was single and ready to mingle. She imagined herself in a mission style king size bed, in a classic bungalow, burning up the sheets with the quiet, handsome bearded fantasy man from IT.
    She drifted off to sleep, full of endorphins and serotonin and dreams of what could be if she were just brave enough to take the leap.

Chapter 4
    The conference finished as expected, she learned some new stuff, made some new contacts and drank a slew of apple martinis on her expense account.  And every night she went to bed the same way as the first.
    Kaelyn texted her every day, since Cora was avoiding her calls, it was amazing how many ways a person could be called a coward.
    During the drive home on Sunday, she decided she’d go for it and started to draft the response in her head.  Listening to her romance mix put her in the mindset to just grab life, for now, maybe Dan later, by the balls and go for it.

    Daniel,
    I want to start out by saying I’m not a crazy stalker, but it’s me, Cora from accounting, and if that freaks you out you can stop reading now and delete this and there will be no hard feelings, but nothing ventured nothing gained.
    I’ll answer your questions first:
    Glass half-full or empty: depends on what’s in the glass ;-) but to be serious, I do try to be optimistic although it doesn’t always come easy to me.
    The road less travelled or the well -worn path: Always the road less travelled, my favorite part of going anywhere is taking the long way, finding little out of the way shops and restaurants and meeting locals. Okay, I will admit that I’m a Disney nut, so I do some wearing out of that path every couple of years and I’m a sucker for a Broadway musical and have friends who live in NYC so I head there a few times a year.
    Life of the party or wallflower : I’m definitely the wallflower; I’m a big time geek girl and always feel a little socially awkward, have ever since high school. I have a group of friends who are my self grown family, with them I let my hair down. Kaelyn from the office is part of that group and I don’t know where I’d be without that little pixie some days.
    Your perfect weekend: Well , I think having an expectation of perfection can set you up for feelings of failure, but a weekend that would rank pretty highly for me would include a nice meal on Friday and maybe drinks or trivia with some friends, or some live music if anything good is in the area.  Saturday would include a bike ride (although I don’t actually own a bike), a drive to nowhere stopping at the littlest hole in the wall that you know will have the world’s best pot roast. Sunday would be sleeping late, reading the paper in bed, cooking breakfast together, and then me making a delicious traditional Sunday dinner. Relaxing and reading while whoever I’m sharing my weekend with does their thing, watching the Pats, the Red Sox, or puttering around the
