He ‘Forgot’ His Wallet on My Birthday—So I Finally Did Something He Never Expected
I’m still trying to process what happened last night with my boyfriend, Will. I hardly slept. Every time I shut my eyes, I’m back at that restaurant table, watching the candlelight flicker between us while he patted his empty pockets like it was all some harmless joke.
