Friends. Just friends. It’s really not a difficult concept.
Milwaukee is merely a pitstop while I try to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. I’m not hiding from my family of moonshiners back in West Virginia. I’m just … figuring some things out before I confront them.
Lenny acts like he’s fine being friends, but I know he wants more. It’s not hard to figure out when his lips find mine every chance he gets.
He thinks he can charm his way into me taking down my walls. Ha! Good luck with that. My walls are steel reinforced.
But then the whole mess back home catches up with me, and Lenny’s done with gentle. His battering ram is at the ready, prepared to take my walls down no matter the consequences. Gulp.
He claims Love will OUT in the end.
Easy for him to say. He doesn’t know the disaster awaiting him.

My dear Whiskey,
I wish I had pretty words to give you on this our first Valentine’s Day together, but I’m not a writer. I’m a man of action. Give me an M-60 and I can fieldstrip it faster than you can say ‘how do you do?’, but ask me to write a love letter and I’m lost for words. Literally.
Despite my general inability to articulate my feelings, I want you to know that even though I might not always have the exact right words, you will always have me. I’m not going anywhere, because I love you. Corny as it may sound, you’re stuck with me.
I can’t wait to start my next leg in the journey of life together with you.
Yours forever,
Your old man Lenny
D.E. Haggerty is actually just plain old Dena, but she thinks using initials makes her sound sophisticated and maybe even grown up. She was born and raised in the U.S. but considers herself a Dutchie and not only because it sounds way cooler. After a stint in the U.S. Army, she escaped the US to join her husband in Holland. She fled Holland over ten years ago when she couldn’t stand the idea of being a lawyer for one single second more. Turns out Bed & Breakfast owner in Germany didn’t do it for her either. When the hubby got a job in Istanbul, she jumped ship and decided to give this whole writer thing a go. She’s now back in Holland, which she considers home. Sorry, Mom.
Thanks for sharing. That Lenny is a dark horse I tell you 😉
