Chapter 81 TIME IN TEXAS by Izzy Duffy

Kneeboarding is not why I came to Texas. Albeit fun, I had other plans when I arranged to come.

But I did want to visit with Sasha and Clay, the owners of the SwimFit apparel company that I agreed to model for and help with design ideas. It turned out that they just received a set of prototype swimsuits from the designers that needed testing.

And have some fun, of course.

I’ve mentioned that Ailana and I have known each other since 2016 when I was just 17 and she was 18. We did some modeling together then, and have done other things over the years since. We stayed in touch, though I suppose you could argue we were never super close.

But I think I get her character and we share a good bit of our upbringing. So, when something came up that I have had a lot of spiraling thoughts about, I wanted someone who gets me to talk to. And someone I trusted.

Tomorrow, we won’t be moving so fast. We’ll have time to talk.

I don’t really have a question for her. I just want to talk.

I just want to tell her about Kent Marlon. I want to hear what she thinks about the things he and I have done with Stop-Gap Housing and how sharing that project has grown us close to each other.

I want to tell her about how misfortune with his own house resulted in him moving into one of the micro–apartments at Crossroads Apartments. I want to tell her how seeing him most days in the common area feels nice.

I want to tell her how he’s kind and thoughtful, how he’s willing to step up and jump in when needed. I’ll tell her about the day at McDonald’s when he bought lunch for a family whose card was declined.

And, I’ll tell her about my impulsive reaction: about how I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

That precipitated a flood of feelings and thoughts! Which he didn’t seem to mind—which didn’t seem to change things between us—we went on as if only one more step in a growing relationship had taken place.

Then… by then… maybe she will have reacted in a way that might give me some insight. That… that was why I came to Texas.

But the kneeboarding is still a lot of fun!

Be your best you!

The cost of software is real and far from trivial. At the time of this post, not counting hardware, AGI Stories racks up expenses of just at $100 per month. Patreon members are covering a nice portion of that.

I believe most of you who help with the costs are doing so because you want to support the production process and show your encouragement. While most of the content is free and public, the hope is that reserving a few pictures and small sections of the post for you is a modest indication of gratitude!

Again, thank you very, very much.
