After leaving my parents’ house, I came up with the idea since I couldn’t leave the property but still wanted her to know I was thinking about her. I hate that she ended up in this article drama with me.

Are there multiple suitors who’d send your favorite food and ten dozen flowers?
Delilah
Oh yeah, there’s a line out my door of men waiting to court me. Some even brought donkeys to trade for my love!
Wilder
Donkeys? Well, good thing I know more about you than they do.
Delilah
Oh yeah? Such as…
Wilder
You hate donkeys, so immediate rejection.
Delilah
…How do you know that?
Wilder
You got chased by one when you were twelve and have been deathly afraid of them ever since.
Delilah

Wilder

Delilah
That’s…kinda wholesome.
Wilder

Delilah
But mostly creepy.
I roll my eyes even though she’s giving me a hard time on purpose. Delilah’s part-time job is finding ways to humble me.
Wilder
Oh c’mon!
She replies with a silly tongue-out emoji.
I decide to add more, which she’ll probably say is even more creepy, but at this point what do I have to lose? Besides my sanity, of course.
