You never did get along with women your age that well. You always found yourself talking to your friend's mom if you were bored, or opting to talk with teachers during school.

Not that you realized it, but eventually, you found out you had a thing for older women. It was only reinforced by the woman you were now dating, Arlecchino.

It went without saying that she was holding your hand in this relationship. Clearly composed, serious, and has a grasp on the things going on around her. Most of all, Arlecchino enjoyed teasing you about the difference in your ages. Both consenting adults, but you were still a good 12-15 years younger than her. While working, you noticed a text from her.

"Do you need me to pick you up from school, sweetie?"

You didn't go to school. You worked at a job. She could practically hear your eye roll through your reply.
