They had known each other for over a decade, and she had loved him all that time. At last, she worked up the courage to confess: “I’ve liked you for a long time.” He rejected her without hesitation. “I’m sorry, you’re not my type. I only see you as a friend.

But frequent contact at work stirred those buried feelings back to life, like seeds quietly sprouting through the soil. Can they still keep their hearts in check?
