Emoticon rescue

The other day I made a faux pas. A text faux pas. You see, I got a text from this woman, a woman I don't know well, in fact we only met once and we spoke professionally, although there was an underlying chemistry. When I responded to her text I ended it with a winky face emoticon. Yikes. I meant to use a happy face emoticon. I didn't mean to flirt. I could have flirted — I mean, I might have wanted to flirt, but I'm not sure. It was too soon, it was out of context, it was too forward. And now it's not like I can text back saying 'hey, I typed a winky face, but I meant to type a happy face, so....'. That will just make things worse. So, now I wait, wait and see if it goes unnoticed, or noticed. Maybe I will tell this story on our wedding day? Maybe this faux pas is cupid working his mysterious ways? Or maybe I will never see or hear from this woman again. And maybe, just maybe, I'm ok with whatever happens next.
