I’m honestly not certain if I could bring myself to take away more than that.

Stop all this bullshit before I become invested in something I don’t have time for.

That’s half the purpose of keeping “dolls”.

They make it easy to enjoy the perks of dating without wasting the valuable time to actually do so, and they allow me to enjoy the kinks I prefer in a safe, secure, won’t end up on the cover of a trashy gossip magazine manner. Being with Zel was supposed to continue the simplicity of it all.

Not complicate it.
