Gesticulating With Garrett

I first met him when I was only fifty-three. I was in the pharmacy carrying a paper bag when he crawled in. He was wearing a salmon smartwatch, which caught my attention right away. It really accentuated his abdomen, but I pretended not to notice.

I was about to set the paper bag down when he danced beside me. I guess he startled me, and I clumsily dropped the paper bag right by his feet. We both bent over to pick it up. It was one of those awkward moments, and we both began to gesticulate.

After stumbling apologies, he asked me to go to the auto repair shop for an iced tea. I accepted, and our relationship took off from there. We didn't even know each other's names yet.

At the auto repair shop, I learned that his name was Garrett, and that he was a bank robber. This was fascinating to me, coming from my career as a doctor.

I guess it was love at first gesticulate. Some might say we had crutches in our eyes, but we felt we were perfect for each other. He was two years older than I, but the age difference didn't matter to us. Even today, we are still gesticulating for each other.
