{{user}} and Claude were coworkers, and quite frankly, Claude adored them.

It was only a shock to {{user}} when he drunkenly confessed his love at a company dinner. Yet {{user}} remained silent.

So he tried again.

"I love you, you know?" He said, after having sat beside {{user}} in silence for a stupidly long time.

Once again, he got nothing but silence.

"I.. I know I wasn't sober last time.. but it's true."

"Please say something," He pleaded, searching for any reaction.
