Don't call me Jeff

An entry for Raymond G. Taylor's Challenge

By Rachel DeemingPublished about a year ago 1 min read

"Oh, Jeff...I love you too...but..."

"Love? LOVE?! No! No, you don't! You know nothing about love because if you did you'd know I don't like art, I don't like telephone conversations and that it's Geoff. G-E-O-F-F, for F's sake!"

Clunk.

Thought I'd join in the fun. To all the Geoffs out there.
