I work as a nanny for a prominent family on our street. The mother thinks her youngest son looks just like his father, but he has the handyman’s exact blue eyes.

I make up random questions to ask you during team meetings just to hear the sound of your voice.

I change the playlist on my phone whenever your favorite song comes on so I don't accidentally listen to it too much.

I accidentally told my crush about someone elses feelings during a group conversation but they seemed okay with it.

I found out my girlfriend has $60k in hidden credit card debt. She thinks we’re looking at buying a house next spring, but I’m secretly planning my exit.

I accidentally spilled coffee on a library book, dried it with a hairdryer, and returned it without saying a word.

I accidentally sent an internal company memo criticizing our client to the client themselves, and my manager had to take the fall for it.

My old hometown feels like a stranger's town now that all the local spots we hung out at have been demolished.

I still write letters to you in my head every single night, but I will never hit send.

I caught my manager stealing client commissions. Instead of reporting him, I asked for a 30% raise. He approved it in four minutes.

I found a dropped hundred-dollar bill at a grocery store and bought video games instead of turning it into customer service.

I memorize the exact days you wear your blue jacket because you look so handsome in it.

I would never date anyone else because they will never make me feel as safe as you.

Your name is always the first thing I think of when my phone rings and there is no call.

I feel deeply inadequate as a parent most days, but I smile and pretend I know exactly what I am doing.
