You are right Nubian, and I made the decision to "let it go" about a day after I got the gift. I sent her a "thank you" note and left it at that. Still, I wonder what she was thinking (or hoping) I would do (presuming that she was sending me a message, which I think she was).

Even if I had followed up, that relationship would have ended after a certain number of encounters and then where would my professional future have gone?

Still, the thought of doing it with my boss...the risk, the unrealness of the situation....is quite wild. LOL...so much for fantasyland!

Nubian, thanks for your feedback!
