The Tides Motel Palm Beach Blvd

My bus finally pulled in late you were there as promised although I tried not to notice the blonde bimbo adjusting her skirt a cross between pat benatar and Melanie griffith puffing on a stale Marlboro cigarette while painting lipstick on her collagen strickened pink lips just like you to be charmed to give her a light lucky strip matchbook it didn't bother me surprisingly enough I had no reaction I must admit Reno Nevada conditioned me to a soft spoken kind of acceptance to your philandering anticipated antics gambling again on goods of service however I was quite flattered you still tried to conceal infidelity funny it was rather attractive why you absolutely appeared boyishly shy caught in the cookie jar again fishing for snacks besides our relationships had already exceeded the life span of any failed marriage why we continued charades was even more morbidly interesting to say the least after all we were both married to other people an yet faithful to our personal ongoing trisks enterages rondevues at anyrate the stars were very bright tonight 3:40 am the tides were unseemingly calm wouldn't you say what's the room number did you lose the key again dam I've broken another heel just put the bags here dear

You are quite the free spirit, flitting as you want. A great story, wonder if it's true.

Dear Yolanda, I felt the raw and honest portrayal of a complicated relationship dynamic. I particularly loved how the ending with the broken heel and the lost key was the perfect touch of vulnerability amidst the chaos. Yolanda, I think you have a true gift for poetic storytelling - Blessings, My Friend Daniel
