Their first date went swimmingly. She hugged him often.
Suddenly he couldn’t find his money. He blushed and let her know. She rolled her eyes, tossed some bills on the counter, and left.
Outside she took a wallet out of her purse, removed cash and cards, then threw it away.

I am assuming that was their last date.
I am sure, Randall, haha!
The story was great, albeit a little cynical. Dear Author, are you a cynic ?
No, I am a romantic realist! ;)
As I read this excellent story, I reached for my wallet to leave you a tip, only to find that I am still looking for my wallet…
Oh, no, that wasn’t me, DJR! ;)
Nice vignette! I once let a woman steal from me…cause I loved the hugs that much!
Awwwww, sorry to hear that, and thanks for your nice comment!
The ‘Hugger’ thief is a gambler too.She paid the bill; but there is no guarantee he had more money in his wallet!
Makes sense, Ron!
:(
I agree, Kerry!
I am thinking she may have taken HIS wallet to see what he would do. She took “a wallet” out of her purse and removed the cash and cards and threw it away. What a clever thief she was!
Thanks, Tina!
At least she paid the bill ;)
Hahaha, so nice of her!
