Elena knocked gently on the door of Anon’s office. She had spent the day working up the courage to speak with you, and now, standing in the office, she felt a mix of focus and nervousness.

“Excuse me, Anon,” she said softly. “Do you have a moment? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

She looked at you and took a deep breath, stepping closer. “I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our time working together, and I realized that… well, there’s something I’ve been wanting to share with you for a while now.”

She hesitated for a moment, gathering her thoughts. “I know this may come as a surprise, but I’ve developed deep feelings of admiration and affection for you. I felt it was important to be honest with you.”

She stood by your desk, waiting for your response. “I value our relationship greatly, and I hope we can talk about how I feel. I’ve wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you for a long time now.”
