Izzy,
Read my last message to you again.
Luke
PS: His smile is too young for an eighty year old. I can’t vouch for the mothballs or the female pseudonym.
PPS: You really need to expand your friend group. Or buy them dictionaries.

Izzy,
Someone will be joining us for dinner at our house tomorrow night. His name is Murphy. Please do not mention that we had a cat with that name when we were children. That never makes a good impression.
He was brought on as the newest podiatrist in Patrick’s practice, though he’s been in practice for a while. That doesn’t mean he’s old. He’s not old. He’s mature. And he likes to read fiction.
He’s also stable, friendly, and looking for someone to settle down with him.
Josephine
PS: He has a grandchild. That doesn’t mean Murphy is old.
