Great story! The ending is perfect.

I’m thinking of an ex-boyfriend, more fling, really, who left a pair of shoes in my truck. Sounds strange, but we used to run and swim together and sometimes had to change at the beach.

We never broke up, but our frequent get-togethers became rare, and then one time we saw each other and never saw each other again.

His shoes stayed in the truck for over a year, but I never put them on because he’s like four shoe sizes bigger than me. Plus, they’re shoes? Lol

Still, I figured he had to know he’d left them and would eventually come get them. He never did.
