wow look at you singing his praises

Me

I am always ready to praise the greatest president of the modern era.

Trouble

Just a president? Or the man who made you come out to your parents at eleven years old

I shake my head at my phone, still smiling.

Me

He inspired me and I developed a crush. I don't see the problem.

Trouble

I still can't believe you cried when he won, Callahan. And at that age?

Me

I was moved by the democratic process.

Trouble

and the posters?

Me

Posters on walls were all the rage back then.

Trouble

The poster was on your wall until you were HOW old?

I catch myself smiling like a complete idiot at my phone.

Me

The poster represented an era of political hope. I'm not apologizing for it.

Trouble

Riiight. nothing to do with his gorgeous face.

Me

The man is objectively handsome and perfect. This is notcontroversial.

Trouble

He really is Must be the ears

Me

I press my mouth together and wince. I am a composed man, so I am not going to examine the fact that I just made an innuendo about a former president's ears to a girl at two in the morning, over text.
