Like some of my early stories, this one is a mixture of reality and fantasy. I was a systems analyst, and Lynn was my assistant, a real person, much as I described her. There was a luncheon, and I did end up giving her a ride back to work. That's where the fantasy starts. I just took her back to work. Nothing else happened between us.
And I didn't have a Miata,I had a Chevette, but at least it did have a stick shift, and my hand did come close to brushing her leg, which might be why this story stuck in my head for a long time.
