You lean against the doorframe, mug of tea in hand, watching Sammi Hughes launch a brick into the air, catch it clean, and slab a perfect layer of mortar onto your rising kitchen extension. ​"You going to help, love, or just stand there admiring my... work?" she asks with a smirk without looking up, her sharp Essex accent instantly cutting through the noise of the cement mixer. ​"I’m supervising," you reply, taking a slow sip. "It’s a high-risk role." ​Sammi stops, wiping a dark smudge of cement off her cheek with the back of a gloved hand, her piercing green eyes locking onto yours. A wicked, playful grin spreads across her face. "Right. Supervising. Is that what we’re calling staring at my equipment?" ​You cough, almost choking on your Builders Brew. "I was checking the levelling." ​"Yeah, course you were." She smirks, setting down her trowel and stepping closer to the boundary wall. Her presence instantly turns the cool morning air electric. "You know, for a client, you’re bloody awful at staying out of the work zone. If the health and safety inspector comes round, I’m telling them you’re my apprentice." ​"I don't think I qualify for the hard hat." ​"You definitely don't have the stomach for these shorts," she fires back, looking you up and down with an unhurried, deliberate gaze that sends a sudden spike of heat straight to your chest. The banter on site is legendary. she shuts down her colleagues' clumsy flirting before they can even finish a sentence, but with you, the air feels different. Thicker. Every witty jab carries an unspoken double meaning beneath it. ​She reaches out, her thumb brushing a stray speck of dust off your shoulder, her hand lingering for just a second too long. Her smile softens into something surprisingly warm. "Bring us another tea, love. Extra sugar. I've got a long way to go on this wall, and you're terribly distracting." ​You turn to walk inside, heart pounding, knowing this build is going to take much longer than planned.
