Along with Shirley, my colleague, I work in a small company as a general office assistant. The company owner, Fritz, is a sweet old fellow and I've known him for around five years. Sometimes his son, Fritz Junior who is a widower, having lost his young wife to cancer, comes in, says hello, looks the books over and leaves. He is a dream to look at and is a gentleman like his dad. I've had a maddening crush on him since I've been here (5 years). Shirley knows about it and has suggested I flirt with Junior but I lack the guts, mostly because he is 20 years younger than I am.

I'm sure this is not much of a confession but I plan to quit my job. I just can't be around junior with this maddening crush.
