I (39) run a small aquarium business. The shop front keeps me busy but there’s onsite maintenance jobs as well that just add to the chaos that is my daily work life.
Samantha (32) was a semi regular customer and had been for a few years. Always friendly and chatty but not flirty, and I’d helped her out with some issues with her tanks over the years to where she would prefer to deal with me than my staff. I didn’t mind this because she was a good customer, and it helped that she was pretty hot as well.
About 12 months ago my marriage hit a wall and my wife and I separated. She had moved away during the pandemic and we both started to live our own lives. I was slowly getting some confidence in myself back but hadn’t really done anything about my newly single status.
