Faith

Dear Diary,

I lucked out thisin a BIG way

Dr Hawthorne left his apartment just as the elevator was about to leave our floor

Bonus fantasy points for the fact that he was talking on his phone as he sprinted towardto catch the elevator, but I was standing front and center in it

Whenever I hear hiasht

The velvety rasp in his voice was the cherry on top of the visual delight I itness to

Dr H was on his way out for a run, so it was no shirt,circles around his half-naked body

As always, he didn’t even glance in ht?

-FU

My folks didn’t put a lot of thought into that when they named me
