Notes: Challenge drabble. 3rd in my series about a relationship between the frequently dead.
"How about this one?" Buffy said, glancing up at Daniel as he expertly flipped an omelet from pan to plate. She shifted the Gazette a little to the left, making room for her freshly cooked breakfast, and traced a finger across one of the advertisements. "Position available for Receptionist in growing organization. Multi-line phone experience preferred..."
"Which means they don't understand the system and will need you to run it."
She rolled her eyes. "Here's one with flexible work hours..."
"Also known as frequent overtime." Daniel's tone was discouraging, but the corners of his eyes were crinkling.
Buffy's mouth twitched as she picked another ad at random. "Quick problem solver?"
"They're months behind schedule."
"Must be able to lift 50 pounds..."
"No health insurance or chiropractors available." He brought his own plate to the table and sat down, blue eyes twinkling behind his glasses.
She covered a laugh with a sip of her orange juice. "Management training position?"
"Salesperson with a huge territory."
She nudged the paper off the table, sending it fluttering to the floor, and leaned across the plates to steal a kiss. "Guess that leaves me with just one option then; I'll call your boss back tomorrow."
