<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Three years ago I was one of the rank and file at my job, but I was good at what we do. My company hired this girl but she wasn't very good. She was getting close to being fired so I was asked to step in and train her. I patiently coddle her and get her to the point where I save her job.

She's a pretty girl. I don't always trust my opinion on that but I've heard at least 8 out of 60ish coworkers refer to her that way. I have some small connections with her, like we went to the same grade school.

Fast forward three years. I don't talk to her much, just here and there at work. I get a fat promotion, next thing I know I'm her boss. We were talking in my office, it felt like a personal conversation, she was talking about things that she struggles with and things that have been emotionally difficult for her (at work). Our line of work is stressful. Her hand was on my desk. Impulsively I reached out for her hand to... I dunno, hold it?

She snapped her hand back so fast, like I was going to stab her or something. We kept talking through the whole action and I would have to say it didn't really feel awkward. Maybe she thought I was trying to grab something on the desk and was very quickly moving out the way?

What I want to know is, does she know I was trying to grab her hand? And does she think I was being inappropriate?
<bot>: I tried to hold the hand of a coworker and want to know how likely it was she knows I was making a pass at her.
