Gambling with your heart.— A story in 100 words.

Brian had options. 
Oona had options.

A mutual friend thought, “they’d be great together.”

And they are.

They talk.
They laugh.
They have fantastic sex.

But …she’s younger.

It’s not an issue …until Brian’s alone & in his head.

Will it matter? 
 Maybe?

Does it matter?
Not …really.

Should it matter?
Why?

Neither gambled with anything more than their hearts.

The cards may not be in his favor. 
The cards may not be in hers. 
Because the house almost always wins.

He couldn’t delay the gravity of the situation. 
He called her: “Fuck it. I want this.”
“Good. Me too.”
