The first time I saw Danielle, which must have been on her second day on the job I was nervous and shy around her. I could only muster up telling her good morning or talking briefly about her weekend. Then she moved desks and sat behind me in our work space which for the most part gave me some courage to email her and the team about animals or other non work topics. We started talking about me adopting a dog which I knew she loved (I didn't have any intention of adopting one) and finally asked her out at a friends going away happy hour (which she would like me to note was about 6 months later).
