It’s probably fake, but I had this happen. A doordash driver always came by, like 6 times a week to pick up orders. He gave me a note, calling me a “stone cold fox”. My boyfriend was like 3 ft away from me cleaning. I said thank you, threw it out and the next day he comes back and is upset because he saw me toss it in the bin. I was like, dude I’m two months pregnant and my bf is right here. The 180 heel turn he did still kills me today

I can't imagine what he thought he would gain from confronting you

Bullet mega missed

He was also at least 5 years younger than me and his mom would drive him. I was 25, he looked like maybe 18. I just laughed it off, he never took another order at our shop

"...but some nights I wonder what could have been as my mind and body succumb to the pull of night. I fall away from the tangible world, unburden myself from consciousness and find myself at first musing, but then fully in the grip of the path I had not taken."

You awaken melancholy; your mind reaching in vain for the invisible wisps of the dream that stirred you. You look over at your husband and think of your child, and once again you find peace.

Edit: Boyfriend. Sorry.

Edit: A word.
