My pyle shakes as I hit 80 on the open road

The man at Krispy Kreme gave us free doughnuts, even though the store was supposed to be closed. He saw us staring longingly from the stoplight and waved - I pulled a car-chase style turn around and 1:15am found us outside of the store, sketchily making the best doughnut deal ever to be made.

"We got doughnuts for being cute" says GiGi. Too true.

These days I think I sleep as many nights in her bed as I do mine. I come back to my room and feel like I'm having an affair, things are strewn on my bed in such a way that the whole room knows I didn't sleep there last night. I am cheating on my house, carressing someone else's floorboards with my bare feet, sighing into someone else's sheets.

GiGi sleeps better when there's someone else there - I think I understand. Last night I half-woke after we rolled into each other. We don't touch, but it's different, not in the bad way. "It makes me feel loved" she insists. I get that.
