I Offered Ginger Ale and Our Relationship Was Never the Same

I remember that day.
I was at his office in support of an employee who might be subject to termination.
He offered me and the employee a bottle of water.
When we had to return to his office a second time (for technical difficulties beyond our respective control), I brought with me a can of GINGER ALE.

...

It might seem relatively insignificant. The man was a ginger. Pale as Casper with spots of red in his cheek and blue eyed was he. The ginger ale was a bit of a statement. Although, in my defense, ginger ale is my favorite carbonated soft drink.

He smiled. Thankfully, I won the case and the employee still works there. Said employee is still f**king up and may get himself discharged again.
