Summary
Charlie is nervous. Unfortunately, curiosity is a much stronger devotion.
“So, why Emily Dickinson, hm? She doesn’t seem exactly,” an uncomfortable pause. “your thing.” Charlie smirks, any devilish indication free from his expression, but a hand gesturing to, well, Nick.
Nick bites his lip and looks down, like he is embarrassed. Before Charlie can say anything, he lets him in on something surprising. “I want to write a biography about her, someday.” He tacks on someday like it's not a possibility, Charlie resists on reminding him that people, no matter who, etch themselves into our hearts and they stay there. He doesn’t think he needs to hear about love and philosophy.
When Nick departs after a shy goodbye, Charlie makes a note to check out The Life of Emily Dickinson.

Summary
Charlie had a very strict rule about having crushes on coworkers.
Which was, he just didn’t.
There was nothing worse than longing over someone, looking like a complete idiot in front of other coworkers, and becoming someone who was gossiped about.
That was his least favorite thing, being the center of attention for any reason, so he just didn’t do anything to give anyone a reason to do it.
And of course, if he did hook up with a coworker, when it inevitably ended, they’d have to still work together and that would be messy and annoying and yeah, Charlie was better off leaving any aspect of his love life out of his well maintained and coveted work life.
He was totally and completely fine with the way things were. He didn’t need romance, in or outside of work.
Then he had to go and meet Nick Nelson.
