Haven’t encountered any yet
Brad
Trust me, they’ll come out to play. Speaking of which, are you secretly going out there to spend time with Melinda?
I scoff at the idea. My ex-girlfriend is a realtor out here in Lake Haven. She works between here and Chestnut Hills; another highly sought after small town made popular by the rich and famous.
In all honesty, I’d completely forgotten about Melinda. She was an amazing girl, and we left on good terms, but we split up for a reason. Neither of us could commit to a long-distance relationship for one, and she deserved better than that. Three years ago, I wasn’t where I’m at now. What I thought I wanted then, I no longer do.
But Melinda and I were never going to work. She spent a year in Paris after we broke up, and I’m proud of what she’s achieved with her career. But I’m not here to rekindle things.
Me
No. Why would you think that?
Brad
Bc you’re pathetic. When was the last time you had sex, old man?
Me
I’m not discussing that with you, and you’re 2 years younger than me, asshat
Brad
Maybe I should come out there and we’ll shake that little tavern upside down
Me
I don’t think Haven Sent is ready for you, brother, seriously
The beloved tavern and the best place to eat in town.
Brad
Do you have some chick stashed away in that cabin that I don’t know about?
Me
I’m pathetic, remember
Brad
Oh, that's right. Dad said you needed to decompress…
A few seconds later, Brad has Venmoed me some cash.
Me
Why did you just send me money
Brad
You need a massage. If the masseuse irons all the kinks out of you, you might come back a little less grumpy
Me
I have money, idiot. You do realize you’re the one they all call Mr. Grumpy around the office, right?
