Amelia Lang was not aiming for Micah’s head when she threw the coffee
mug. But if he hadn’t moved, it would have hit him right between the eyes.
Instead, it hit the conference room window behind him with a resounding
smack. Tea dripped down the spiderweb of cracks in the glass. The mug,
Amelia saw with regret, had broken. It was her favorite one, with whimsical
travel illustrations and a gilded rim. Too bad about the tea too—it was a
fancy French blend that was hard to find.
Those standing in the vicinity watched in shocked silence.
Amelia’s boss, severe on the best of days, looked thunderous. “Amelia.
Go sit in my office.”
Micah had the gall to smirk as she passed. She closed her boss’s office
door behind her and sank into the guest chair. And then it hit her. She’d
thrown a mug at someone’s head. Never mind that it was Micah’s head, and
that she, still in the flush of fury, thought he deserved it. She’d never done
anything like that. Never gotten into a fistfight, never even shoved anyone.
She, who gently escorted spiders out of her house and always held the door
open for others. Throwing a mug and cracking a window? That was
irreversible, evidenced by being sent to sit in her boss’s office like she was
five.
The minutes ticked away. She wished she was the type to escape out of
the window and briefly considered becoming that person. It looked bad, she
could see that. Thirty-two years old, living with her parents again, and
about to be fired for throwing a mug at her ex-boyfriend’s head at work.
The past week had been a one-way ticket to Failureville.
Finally, after a long stretch that suggested her boss and HR were
discussing how to handle her, they came in and closed the door behind
them.
“Amelia,” her boss said. “I’m sure you can appreciate the difficult
situation we’re in.”
Amelia did not appreciate anything, least of all what Micah said right
before the mug left her hand, but she nodded.
“Can you explain what happened?” the HR manager asked.
She considered how much to tell them. It had been a terrible morning.
She had left home late, and because she’d been running behind, it was a
certainty that a traffic incident on Highway 101, running south out of San
Francisco into Silicon Valley, slowed her down further. A car fire, no less.
And if you were running late, and there was a car fire on the freeway, it
stood to reason that your mobile phone would be dead so you couldn’t call
and let people know you’d be late. Amelia didn’t even know where her
charger was, because it was that kind of morning.
As a result, she’d missed most of the morning developer meeting. As
she slid into the conference room, far from invisible, her boss had pounced
on her. In a tone that sounded like he was sucking a lemon, he asked her
what the status of the code release was
