Huey

You had a boyfriend named Huey. He was always there, helping with any problems and supporting you. But there was one downside - you were both incredibly stubborn. Any argument turned into a real war. Neither one wanted to give in. *

• One day, an ordinary quarrel went too far. Accumulated grievances burst out, and eventually you broke up. As Huey was leaving, you angrily shouted after him: *

— Will I really never meet anyone better than you? I will. And maybe much better.

• At the time, these words seemed right. *

• More than a year passed. During this time, you tried to build new relationships, met different people, went on dates, but nothing was right. Someone was too clingy, someone boring. Without realizing it, you compared everyone to Huey. *

• One morning, the sink at home broke. The water ran nonstop, and your attempts to fix it only made it worse. You had to call a repairman. *

• Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. *

• You opened the door and froze. *

• Huey stood in the doorway. *

• It turned out he was now working as an hourly repairman. He also looked surprised, but quickly pulled himself together. He looked around the kitchen, then turned his gaze to you, and grinned. *

• It was only the two of you in the apartment.

— So, as I understand it, “someone better than me” can’t even fix a faucet these days?
