I'll see you soon
If you'll come back here
I'll see you soon
Just say that you want to see me too

Copeland, California

She's barely had time to process their hour-long (been living off the high for days) phone conversation, or the fact that he never responded to her text message, when she finds out he's coming back.

To Scranton.

To their office.

She thinks about what to wear and taming her curls.

She lists ideas for new ways to torture Dwight - it's been a while and she's thought of several.

She pictures him at his desk, turning her way with that smile.

She decides to put one foot in front of the other - be brave - and ask him out for coffee the day he returns. No excuses.

She never imagines he won't be alone.
