As I'm bartending the guy I've been "talking to" shows up to visit. We're just smiling ear to ear at one another. Constantly. As I'm counting down tips readying to leave one of my regulars is asking questions lol Her - who are you, are you her boyfriend ? Him (smiling at me) says - no She then laughs and says " oh I thought maybe you were here trying to pick her up" With the biggest grin and proudest tone in his voice he says " oh no, I most certainly am" lol & that's when I forgot about all this hurt I've been carrying around.
