Two people who see each other, day in and day out at their workplace. If anyone paid close enough attention to their actions and body language, it would be clear, that they should be together. Yet each one is attracted to the other but never acts on it.

Her thoughts -
I'm in the military, so I work in a very male-dominant job. The ratio of men to women is about 150 males to every female. Sometimes, it can be even higher. There are strict rules about not having relationships with people at work. But it's bound to happen when you spend so many hours working. I know several married couples who met here at work. And I've heard about others who are dating.
I've never thought about getting romantically involved with someone I work with. I always tried to keep my work and home life separate. But I've found myself attracted to a man from work. He doesn't work in my department, but we cross paths now and then. There's something about him, I can't explain it.
The main office is on the second floor with windows on the north side that look out over the lower level inside the building. The south side of my office has more windows that look out over the staff parking lot. I've been watching him at work, not like a stalker or anything.
Sitting at my desk, I have a clear view of his workspace. I can see his work area inside and where he parks his vehicle in the parking lot. His tasks during the workday are very physical. Sometimes, he ends up taking his shirt off, especially during warmer months of the year.
