Gambling Gene pt. 3: “Date Night at Commerce?”
Ory: Happy Anniversary honey, I’m coming over after work.
Me (originally planned to go to Commerce at 5pm): Happy Anniversary, what time do you think you’ll get off today?
Ory: I’m going to leave at 4. Probably with traffic, I’ll be there 4:45 ish.
Me: Oh. Hm. What do you want to do?
Ory: I don’t know, what were you thinking?
Me: Want to go to Commerce?
Ory: Hell NO.
Me: Why not?
Ory: Hell no babe, why would we go there?
Me: It’s so fun and I’m really good. I’m good. I’m short this month on bills, I can make it tonight!
Ory: No, and I don’t want you ever going there.
Me: Why?!
Ory: Have you seen the people who go there? Sorry, no. Promise me you won’t go back. You have an addictive personality.

Me: It’s a hobby and I don’t have a fucking job.
Ory: I don’t want a girlfriend who frequents Commerce.
