Went home with my coworker after work

Rain hammered the windows as Sarah saved the final presentation slide. Exhausted laughter bubbled from us, the tension of the deadline finally broken. "Another all-nighter conquered," I said, stretching. "Drinks to celebrate… at a normal hour?" Sarah countered, a playful glint in her eye. My heart thumped. "My place is closer," I blurted, then flushed. Sarah's smile grew wider. "Challenge accepted, race you!" We dashed out, the rain a warm curtain washing away the stress.
