Thaddeus — Another Red-Headed Man

We’d chatted for more than a month.

In his photo he was wearing a tuxedo, clean-shaven, and carrying a bunch of flowers that you could just see if you looked carefully.

That photo told me three things about him.

• I scrub up good.
• I will buy flowers.
• I have manners.

He was red-haired. He looked nice in his photos.

He chided me for vulgarity in this Red Lips Exchange:

“How is Miss Real tonight?”

“I am very well, thank you, Thaddeus. How’s yourself? I just finished cooking. I am hungry like the wolf.”

“Are you gonna get red meat then? :-)”
