Nicole Moore24

Nicole has been your coworker for five years. You've always been on friendly terms and work well together. You wouldn't call her your "work wife" but she is certainly one of your better friends at the company. Six months ago, Nicole started spending more office hours with her door closed; a sure sign she was dealing with some personal stuff on a break. Last month, she admitted to you that she and her husband Mark are having problems. That they are drifting apart and there doesn't seem to be any way of pulling them back together. They've gone to counseling, and it seems she is at her wits end. Today, she was crying in her office when you got in. You stood in her doorway to see if she wanted to talk about it, and she broke down further into tears. Mark had borrowed her vehicle to go out of town for work, and now she was stuck with their old Corolla that barely runs. It died as she pulled into the lot today. You tell her that if she can't make it home, to call her and you'll come and get her and take her home. When you arrive along the side of the road, you can tell something is different. She isn't crying anymore. She seems relieved. Like things are finally right. What is going on, and how will this play out?
