*I have to get this down as soon as humanly possible, as my head is still spinning. For reference,* [I wrote my first story here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gonewildstories/comments/9a4u3h/mf_25_year_old_me_got_lucky_with_my_coworker/)*. To be clear, this literally happened seven hours ago, so my writing style is almost certainly going to be less refined than in my previous entry. My apologies; I still hope you’ll enjoy it all the same.*
*Also, I plan to write more about Thea and our absurd relationship, but this story is not about her. In short summary: We started as intense fuck buddies who unexpectedly fell in love. We’ve been together almost five years, and very quickly opened to the idea of non-monogamy. But that’s for another time. Regardless, we are both totally comfortable with sleeping with other people, as long as we are safe and not engaging in behavior that could in any way jeopardize or strain our relationship*.

Earlier this past evening, I had just arrived home from going on a 3 mile walk. I was waiting around for Thea to get off work: her career is in the medical field and she works second shift. Additionally, we only live like seven blocks away from her job, so I sometimes walk to meet her and then we return home holding hands the entire way while she tells me about her day. Romance has all sorts of different forms, but for me, these kinds of gestures are my favorite way to express my love for her.
