When Khari Fletcher comes crashing into my world with her bright colors, intriguing laughter, and enticing beauty, I immediately recognize she’s a threat to my sense of order. And I know for a fact she’s stealing my lunches out of the company refrigerator. But as usual, I have a plan to get what I want and keep the situation manageable.
