[ WP ] You 've been finding fortune cookies in convenient places randomly throughout the week . Your beginning to notice the fortunes are significant in your experiences .

`` Stop eating those damn things!'' he called out over his shoulder. `` Did n't your mom tell you not to eat random-ass things off of the street?'' 
 
 `` This is n't the street, it's our building,'' she countered. `` It's no worse than eating donuts from the breakroom.'' 
 
 `` Yeah, that's *normal* people *usually* eat there.'' He turned around and waited until she caught up with him. `` Come on, where'd you find that one?'' 
 
 She could n't help but squirm a little. `` On top of the filing cabinet.'' His eyes rolled. `` It's still in the package! Come on!'' 
 
 `` You're going to find out Steve from accounting went psycho or something when your poop turns pink from these random-ass *poisoned* cookies you insist on eating.'' 
 
 `` Ugh! You've --'' she held up the cookie, still sealed in its CHINA STAR package and snapped it in half right in front of his face `` -- got a way with words. You're just jealous that I'm finding them and you're not.'' 
 
 `` Whatever, pink-poop. Text me from the hospital.'' He headed off towards his cube. 
 
 `` Coffee at 2, you jerk.'' 
 
 `` Yup.'' 
 
 She tore the plastic open, and it was her turn to roll her eyes. He was probably right. Should n't eat them. Someone probably set it down while they were working through lunch, and for all she knew, it had been there for a year before it caught her eye. The fortunes were entertaining at least. 
 
 **Take a chance at romance: if the chemistry is there, go for it! ** 
 
 She was surprised as played with the idea. She was in IT, he was in engineering. Really, being in different divisions was practically the same as being in a different company. Aside from their weekly lunch, and daily coffee break, they did n't see each other except for the odd cross-functional meeting, and even then it was the senior managers making the decisions, they were still early enough in their careers that their jobs were in the details. 
 
 She whipped out her phone. `` OMG you were right my poop is bright pink'' 
 
 \ > \ >'' haha yeah right... right?'' 
 
 `` Since you ruined eating the cookie for me, you owe me'' 
 
 \ > \ >'' glad i could talk you out of that'' 
 
 `` Dinner tonight? Without these cookies I'm going to be hungry'' 
 
 The dots came and went a few times. After a minute her phone buzzed. 
 
 \ > \ >'' Dinner would be awesome. It's a date?'' 
 
 She took the fortune and pinned it up on her cube wall. 
 
 `` It's a date.''
