Marvin

Dear Marvin,

The heart didn’t mean anything, and it’s just the way I talk. I know this is not a dating site, and I’m not looking for anyone to date either!!!

Anyway, about my hobbies. I originally planned on becoming a lawyer, but I work as a mixologist at a small cocktail bar, so it clearly hasn’t worked out. I’m a bit too embarrassed to admit it, but I don’t really have any goals yet, but what’s the rush?

(If things go wrong, I can always marry some rich guya

Enough about me. You seem way too intelligent to be in prison, and you have a ridiculously long list of felonies. My question for you is, where did it go wrong, and how can I preveni the same thing from happening to me?

From,

Lena

I smiled at Lena’s message, which she had sent yesterday. I knew she would answer. There was probably something that had kept her busy. It was only unfortunate that something had caused her to have a two- day delay, but it meant she didn’t bail on me.

No one ignored me.

So Lena was a mixologist. That was completely different from a lawyer, but shit happens. My future was also different than planned, so I was not one to judge.

Lena’s humor made me laugh, but she was right. If things really didn’t work out, she could always marry

guy. Judging from her profile picture, Lena was not a bad-looking woman.

some rich

I had no idea whether the picture was taken from her good angle, photoshopped, or if she was a catfish, but if that was indeed her on her profile picture-she looked breathtaking and gorgeous.

The smile on my face faded as I reached her last sentence. Where did it go wrong? It was something I had often wondered myself.
