Goodbye Montana,
It’s me, not you. I’m getting out. Moving on. Specifically? To Paris where an apartment I inherited is waiting for me. I pretty much have perfected the art of being single and nothing is going to keep me here. Especially not a gorgeous single-mom of two, I have no business thinking about.
In all humility,
Van Lyon
Dear dating app,
I don’t know how to write a dating profile, but if I were to give it a try, I guess I’d start with:
Thirty-eight, slightly sarcastic mother of teenage twins, anchored in Billings, Montana. Into sweatshirts, sweatpants, and eating out of a pan. NOT interested in any BS.
My hotter than hell friend Van Lyon, need not apply.
Yours in sexual frustration,
Layla Silver

I come offering my body. Heart and mind aren’t part of the deal.
But what’s this?

Why is it I can’t stop looking at them?
