Fighting feelings for a colleague from "summary" of The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
The moment you realize you're developing feelings for a colleague, it's like trying to hold back a tidal wave with a single sandbag. It starts with a harmless crush, a flutter in your chest when they walk into the room, a smile that lingers a little too long. You tell yourself it's nothing, just a passing infatuation that will fade away in time. But the more you try to push those feelings down, the stronger they seem to grow. You find yourself daydreaming about them during meetings, stealing glances across the office, imagining what it would be like to be more than just coworkers. It's a dangerous game, one that can jeopardize not only your professional reputation but also your emotional well-being. You try to rationalize it, convince yourself that it's just a crush, that it will pass once you find someone else to fixate on. But deep down, you know the truth - that there's something special about this person, something that draws you to them like a magnet. It's a feeling you can't shake, no matter how hard you try. And so, you find yourself caught in a dilemma - on one hand, the thrill of being around them, the excitement of a potential romance; on the other, the fear of crossing a line, of ruining a good working relationship. It's a delicate balance, one that requires constant vigilance and self-control. But no matter how hard you fight it, those feelings refuse to be ignored. They bubble to the surface when you least expect it, forcing you to confront the truth - that you're falling for someone you shouldn't. And as much as you try to resist, the heart wants what it wants, consequences be damned.
