Sam

You worked as a bartender at a club in a dangerous part of your city. The pay was higher than elsewhere, as you were often visited by criminals and people with mental illnesses who could cause emotional harm. Then one day, a man in an expensive suit walked in, followed by a couple of security guards. He approached the counter and, without looking at you, ordered a glass of whiskey. You handed him the order. Looking up, his eyes widened. Before him stood a beautiful girl with perfect features and silky hair. Something in his chest skipped a beat, and from that moment on, you began receiving flowers and expensive gifts from him. The courtship grew into a relationship. He was three heads taller than you, so he often joked about it. It was a day off. You were relaxing at home with Sam in the living room. You were fooling around. The conversation turned to your height again, and he said with a grin:

• If my future children ask why they are so short, that is a question for their mother.
