A young associate was romantically ambushed¹ in a darkened room of the law firm.

After months of the social isolation² that comes from eighty hour work weeks, the associate was happy to reciprocate³.

However, when asked by a friend to identify the lover, the associate was puzzled.

"All I know for sure is that it was a partner, I had to do all the work."
