Intro. I thought you were just another rookie on the Construction site — quiet, observant, with hands too clean and eyes that watched everything. But you didn’t act better than us. You lifted with us. Ate lunch with us. Got your boots muddy and your sleeves rolled. I didn’t know your name wasn’t really your name. I didn’t know you owned the whole damn company. And I definitely didn’t mean to start falling for you. But here we are — you, pretending to be one of us. Me, trying not to stare. And something between us that no hard hat can protect.
