Oh, my God, she’d just run into Kathleen of all people! Amantha had a grin on as she let herself into the house. She’d always liked Kathleen. She was so friendly, and she had such a soothing voice and a beautiful smile. Not a surprise for someone who worked for a dentist.
She couldn’t say she had a crush on Kathleen, but the bisexual housewife could see how she could develop one if she spent enough time with her. That may be a rather interesting and fun thing too, not that she expected to hear from her.
Light hair and eyes weren’t usually what she was attracted to, but there was just something about Kathleen’s height, great body, albeit a touch too thin, perfect smile, and calm demeanor that really appealed to Amantha. Kathleen was average yet beautiful at the same time. Well, maybe not beautiful, but definitely attractive.
She’d always dressed very professionally and conservatively in stylish clothing. When Amantha thought about it, she was pretty sure she had only seen her in dresses and skirts. She always wore jewelry and had her nails polished nicely. She wore frameless progressive glasses as well, which didn’t detract from her appearance.
What Amantha wondered most was whether or not Kathleen could possibly like her. The way she had looked at her at work, the way she’d always complimented her appearance… had she just been being friendly or was there more to it? If there was, she certainly couldn’t let it show with Roland sitting there, of course. She didn’t drive, so he always waited for her in the waiting room while the dentist was seeing her.
The last time, as she sat on the little couch in the waiting room, Kathleen had a moment where she didn’t have any calls or anything else to do. She’d said something to the effect of, “Okay, let’s see what you got. Stand up. You always look great.”
Amantha had risen to show her new purple dress and her designer nails with their array of colors.
But then she doubted that Kathleen was attracted to her in that way, the more she thought about it. Didn’t a person usually remember things about those they were attracted to? Well, she had thought her name was Annabel at first.
Okay, so she hadn’t remembered her name, but that tone of voice in her appointment reminder message made her wonder again. So did the way she’d said goodbye after her appointment, knowing she wouldn’t be back for half a year—did it mean anything? Her voice had a hint of sadness to it at the time, almost as if she knew she would miss her.
Amantha watched Kathleen in a promotional video for her dentist on YouTube and noticed her wedding ring. A wedding ring didn’t keep people from being attracted to each other, but even so, Amantha eventually concluded that Kathleen was probably just a really nice person who treated everybody the same. She worked in an office for a dentist. She was supposed to be nice. Right?
Yet she sure seemed thrilled at the idea of getting together, hadn’t she?
As much as she loved to guess, speculate, and analyze while being content to let fate play itself out as it would, she’d been let down before—not that Kathleen was doing anything of the sort. People agreed to get together all the time without actually doing so. It was just human nature.
