So, a quick backstory beforehand on how we met: I was sitting at a slot machine when I saw her walking by. Our eyes met and I waved her over. When she came over I said, "Hi, I think this machine's been waiting for you to make the magic happen." She giggled, sat down, and that’s how it all started.

We had a cute relationship for a while. She was fun, affectionate, and had an adorable way of doing things. But, just saying it as it is, she was very into herself.

Since then, I’ve developed a sleep disorder—hence my friend gifting me the Ambien.

Fast forward to tonight: She showed up, and let me just say, this evening went from "how do I get out of this" to something completely unexpected. We ended up making pancakes (yes, pancakes because I figured it'd be a great way to update all of Reddit) while enjoying her company at my home blackjack table. Then, after playing a few shoes, we just cuddled.

Sometimes, it’s just nice to share a warm moment with someone you used to care about. 🥹
