A heavy silence settles between us and I wonder if I should leave. If I should give her some space. I’m about to stand up when she pokes me again with her big toe. “But given there’s no one around to take our photo and spread some gossip, we can still hang out in here today.”

Warmth fills my chest and I pick up her feet again. “You’re right. There’s no one here to judge the foot rubs…”

She leans back with a contented sigh. “Except me. And I judge this right here as pure perfection.”

My eyes travel over her face and I have to agree. Being with Cherrylike this…it’s pure perfection.

Note to self- do not read the comments.

Also, good to know I’m an influencer!

But also…people online are mean.

Best to stay offline for a while.

Cherry

Being online is my JOB.

I need you to distract me!
