Oh, Jeff... I love you, too... but… You confuse me. You walk with elegance and grace, and you speak in smooth, soft tones. Your pretty-boy face is flawless. When I kissed you, it was divine, but I knew you weren’t quite the man you claimed to be. Oh, Jeff… I love you, too… but… My biological clock is ticking.

++++++++++++

This microstory is for Raymond G. Taylor's "Oh, Jeff... I love you, too... But..." Challenge.

++++++++++++

With Love, Compassion, Understanding, and Support, RHC ❤️

    This hits with a mix of charm and humor—smooth, soft, and then bam, reality check! The elegance of Jeff’s demeanor paired with that ticking clock is an unexpectedly brilliant twist. It’s giving sharp wit and relatable truth in one perfectly timed mic drop. :)

    Methinks Jeff definitely may need therapy. Rick, I think you've correctly pegged Jeff as a "player." All the best with the challenge!
