Getting To Know You
By TT
Stephanie's finger hovered over the mouse button, should she click send? Should she not?
A throat cleared behind her, startling her and causing her to click the mouse button. Her eyes widened in horror for a moment before she sighed, resigned to he fate. That was one way to decide.
Turning in her chair, she asked, "Can I help you Hal?"
Ranger looked up from the contract he was reviewing and spotted an email in his inbox from Stephanie. Opening it he read:

Ranger smiled. Normally he wouldn't do something like this, but it was a way to give Stephanie some answers to things she'd been wondering without revealing too much.
Following the instructions, he began to fill in his answers.
Two hours after leaving her desk, she was done helping Hal and was settling in at her desk.
She moved her mouse to stop the screen saver and froze when she noticed her inbox.
Blinking in surprise, she was stunned when the email was still there.
With a quick glance over her shoulder and around the room, she clicked the email open and began to read:
