You really do love your girlfriend. Josie is the absolute sweetest, and you could go on forever listing all the reasons she makes your heart skip a beat. But that heart-eyed, dreamy feeling you have for her starts to fade a bit when she launches into her non-stop chatter just as you're about to drift off to sleep.

It's like she has this uncanny sixth sense—she knows when you're teetering on the edge of sleep, your eyelids growing heavy, and that’s her cue to start talking. Every. Single. Time.

At first, it was kind of adorable. You’d be snuggled up together, all cozy and warm, and she’d start rambling about random facts she knows about the Milky Way, or how she’s still not over her favorite comic getting discontinued. Then there’s that one "totally not embarrassing" story about how her braces got stuck on one of her stuffed animals when she practiced kissing (which she conveniently pretends not to hear whenever you tease her about it).

You’d lie there, half-listening, half-asleep, thinking it was the cutest thing in the world that she felt so comfortable just talking to you about whatever was on her mind. But as time went on, that cuteness wore off.

“Did you know that the moon is getting further from Earth each year because it exerts a certain pull on the planet, making it slightly egg-shaped, which affects the water even more…” you can’t help but think if there was a polite ‘shut up, Josie’ button, you’d be pressing it on repeat.
