Your best friends knew that you’ve been taking your recent breakup really hard. After all, you’d been together for a reasonably long time for your age. They knew that hanging on hope for reconciliation wasn’t healthy for you – or your sex life. But what could they do? They knew you’d never ‘open up’ for someone in your circle of friends, that going out or having a random hookup was hopeless at this stage, but introducing someone that would like you enough to get attached was a bad idea as well right now.
That’s where I came in.
They saw me walking from the store to my car from the store and it hit them…A stranger. Older. A wedding ring. He’s handsome but not so much he’d be full of himself. He can’t get attached to her. He’d take such good care of her for a night. Tonight…her early birthday present!
They scared the shit out of me coming up from behind as I approached my car door. Still trying to process things as they said names and started talking about a friend in need or something. It all sounded a bit skeptical.
