The Earring That Almost Blew My Cover

I had just started a new job in a city I barely knew. My place was barely furnished just a mattress on the floor, a small table, and a couple of chairs. One Friday night, I met a woman at a local bar. We hit it off, and she came back to my apartment. We spent the night together and she left early the next morning, leaving behind one of her earrings on the windowsill.
That afternoon, a woman I had been talking to for weeks someone I had real chemistry with texted to say she was in the area and wanted to stop by. I scrambled to tidy up. As we sat near the window talking, she reached to open it, and I noticed the earring just in time. Smoothly, I grabbed it and tossed it into a drawer while pretending to admire the view.
The rest of the night? Let’s just say the mattress saw plenty of action again. I had energy for days back then barely slept and still showed up to work the next morning without missing a beat. Definitely not built like that anymore.
