ABSTRACT

“Ten more minutes,” Sophie Erikson thought. Ten more minutes and she could finally go home, go for a run in her favorite park, and then get ready for a date with her boyfriend, Mark. The relationship was only a few weeks old, and even though she saw him each day at work, she still got butterflies each time he came to her door to take her out to dinner, dancing, or just to walk around the city. Jim and Pam from the hit TV sitcom The Office made workplace romance relationships look so easy… could this also be the case in her relationship with Mark?
