I loved it - bluffing the guy with "I'm a lawyer", Aunt Granny's cookies, Ella's transition from withdrawn to confident, and the slightly delayed realization that "You're the guy" made this a winner.
A great short story bringing a slight hint of hope for this old man.
I give 5 stars. $300 and not asking for sex is understandable, but not $3,000. For $3,000 to a stranger, she let the poor gullible man worry to death when he was going to get some.
Any stories like this for a guy sixty, and blue is the warmest color.
I want the recipe for "fucking cookies" even if I go broke I am sure to have a great time. Loved this story thank you.
It was great the way you told the story, and then tied it all in with just the word "simple" on a t-shirt. Well done!
Masterful writing. You've got a new fan in me. What a realistic love story. Bravo.
I was worried for a while, he didn't seem to be grasping the concept.
Thanks
