just the axe murderer who lives on my block

@ainsleyrow_

am I gonna have to fight them to get these gloves back to you?

@allbreckugunther

probably

@ainsleyrow_

well, I guess needs must.

@allbreckugunther

you’re really gunning for these chivalry points aren’t you?

@ainsleyrow_

I’ll have you giving me a handkerchief as a favor by the end of the day.

@allbreckugunther

I’m swooning already

@ainsleyrow_

save it for when I get there, I want to see my handiwork

I blush a little reading back my message. I don’t know what she’s done to me, I’m not a man who blushes.

@allbreckugunther

are you actually coming?

@ainsleyrow_

yeah, I mean if you want?

@allbreckugunther

My hero! OMG yes please!

@ainsleyrow_

I can bring them by now? What’s your address?

Even as I send the message, I know it’s a supremely fucked up idea. I have no business going to Ruth’s place, even just to drop something off. I don’t know her well, but that girl has danger written all over her.

@allbreckugunther

I’m at 183 Cartlidge Terrace, the big red building. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

Text me on this number when you get here, I might not be by my computer

She attaches a screenshot of a contact card and I quickly save it.
