Frustrated at Forty

Ex-Worker Friend came by to do more work today. I was having an absolutely crappy day at work and welcomed the distraction. We were working on some ideas for a website and getting some edits out of the way. We were talking about something and she said something along the lines of I was ’special’ because she didn’t like too many people. The comment passed over me at first but then it came back to my head like a boomerang. What did that mean?
She was a bit more flirty than normal. As my thought ran, the sweats came as well. What a basket case I am. We ended up working late together. We finished what we needed to.
As she walked to her car I noticed how much older she appears than before. Not that she has aged, but I used to look at her as WAY younger. Dangerous younger. She has grown into a neat woman. I’m glad she’s my friend.
