Thinking of Zoe takes me back to a time in my life when I was happy and everything was simple because she was the only girl in the world that I wanted.”
The traffic comes to a standstill.
“Every woman just seems so average
“Amen to that.” I sigh. I thought it was just me.”
We keep driving in silence.
