Living Free

About a week ago, my husband Nick and I were invited to a beach resort along with a bunch of my coworkers. I work in the marketing department at a large company which did very well in the past few years, and the employees were starting to get a lot of perks, one of which was the resort trip. Nick was eager to go, although he was worried about meeting my coworkers. My company had a very informal culture, and I would sometimes tell him about all the flirting and pinching that went on during the workday. Nick worked at a law firm, which was very uptight and professional, and flirting was considered inappropriate. Over the years, some of it had rubbed off on him, and he was becoming more straight-laced and formal. I wasn't sure he would fit in with our group.
