IN a series of interactions, W. comes to let me know he desires me. I've been increasingly fixated on him sexually. I don't move away when he touches my chest, but I'm really in conflict about whether to go forward with this and be led by desire. He is my co-worker.. and is this a trap? He says "why can't we have an affair?" and it makes me hesitate more: I don't want to be part of betraying Anne, and I want to be loved in my own right.
Our passion smolders! There are opportunities in rooms in the office.
The only other person I remember from the dream is Susan S., but I think it's she and a small party of others who let me in on some shocking news:
W. is known to have committed a laundry list of crimes. He embezzled and swindled.
This has made him a pariah in the Department, I learn- confusing considering his seeming popularity- and explains his stunted rise through the ranks, considering his talent.
It torments me that the man I want, and enjoy and respect, is disreputable and can't be trusted.
