His other woman
I fully expected Bob to be the type of guy who still lived in his mom’s basement and collected action figures.
Imagine my surprise when I saw him — tall, a little chubby around the edges, but cute in a nerdy I’d-fight-a-dragon-for-you kind of way.
He stood up the second he saw me, almost tripping over his own feet.
"Hi! I'm Bobby! I mean, Bob! Or Bobby! You can call me Bob, too. Or whatever you like, honestly. Either is fine! You—you look amazing!" he blurted.
I blinked at his word vomit, biting back a smile. Nervous talker. Cute. At least he was honest. And clearly terrified.
