Journal Entry- Day 251

Hi Freckles,

I saw you got your septum pierced today. The cute little twinkle of metal right above your soft pouty lips, it suits you perfectly. I watched the whole vlog you made. It looks hot in Arizona. I could see a light bead of sweat rolling down your cheek. How’s the weather? Is it worse than Texas? The weather right now isn’t bad for March, mostly just humid.

We haven’t had too much rain, so I’ve been getting a lot of jobs done. Clients have been coming out of the woodwork, and Adam had to hire three more people to help us keep up with the demand. He even made me a foreman, so I’m not doing the heavy lifting anymore.

I’ve resorted to working out in a gym to help maintain my muscles. They’re nowhere near yours now, though. Seriously, when you were wearing that cut off tank top, I could see every vein and divot in the flex of your arm.

You’ve changed so much… Your hair is longer now than you used to keep it. The wild ringlets are chin length now, but everyday you astound me with how beautiful you are inside and out.

I check your social media every time I get a chance, and if you knew this, you would think I’m pathetic. But that’s okay, I’ll take any crumb of your life that I can get.

You started an OnlyFans, too. You post about it on your stories every day. And every day my fingers itch to press the button, but I can’t. I’m not strong. I’m not strong enough to see you like that and not break down.

Mitch is doing good. He still loves going to the senior citizen center every day for lunch, but between me and you, I think he has a crush on one of the ladies. I made him blush, actually blush, the other day when I called him out on it. It was one of those times when I miss you the most, sitting on the couch and working on a puzzle, Mitch and I talking about our day. A piece of our lives are missing, and every day without you feels hollow.

Mitch misses you. I miss you.

I love you. Yesterday. Today. Always.

Yours forever,

Trent.
