I Didn’t Know He Was Off Limits
…but I was about to find out.

When you picture nightmarish romantic scenarios, do you imagine yourself the hero? Up until I met M.D. — “Modern-day Casanova” — I did. When these moments unfolded in my head, I’d march up to a victim and spin tales of their beloved’s infidelity, saving the day. Yet sometimes the moral choice isn’t the wisest.
Oh yeah. It’s going to be one of those stories.
But before we get to the drama, there’s a history lesson.
M.D. and I met when I started dealing cards at a country bar near the fairgrounds with a seedy reputation. M.D. loved hanging out here during the week after work. Most of his fans didn’t follow due to the drug dealing and often questionable live music.
Though a quiet man, M.D. was a favorite amongst the ladies. A trusted friend of our organization and a hardworking father with a stable job, M.D. was catnip.
