How do you plan to do that? You’re probably pushing 40, never been married, very attractive, seemingly well-adjusted, and gainfully employed. I’m not a believer in stereotyping people, but you’re clearly a playboy. Actually, my daughter says you’re a player. So I believe that’s the current terminology.

Nice deflection.

It’s about to takeoff. Gotta put my phone away now.

Be safe, Maddie. Feel free to think of me in all the ways.

Um. I can’t believe I’m saying this. But same to you.

(Blushing so much)

I’ll email you later to hear more about this blushing. Consider sending me a picture of said blush.
