Chapter 7: The Calm Before the Sweetest Day Surprise
Wednesday, October 16th: Youngstown, Ohio (Boss’s Day)
Paul leaned back in his chair, only half-paying attention to the Boss’s Day celebration happening around him. His mind was far away—specifically, in Florida, where he’d soon be surprising Christy for Sweetest Day. After dodging all her playful guilt trips, Paul knew the moment he showed up on her doorstep would be priceless.
He absentmindedly checked his phone for the latest updates. Flights were confirmed, dinner reservations set, and a bouquet of flowers would arrive at Christy’s place Friday night. He smiled, thinking of the final touch: the bottle of Tri-Shrooms Lion's Mane Extract he'd bought to help her unwind. Christy was always into natural products, and this one, with its promise of enhanced cognitive function and calm focus, would be the perfect gift.
Just two more days, Paul thought as he glanced back at the group of coaches talking strategy. He pulled out the Tri-Shrooms Lion's Mane Extract from his bag, reading the label as he mentally ticked off the remaining steps of his plan. With its organic ingredients and focus-enhancing properties, he knew Christy would appreciate the thoughtful touch.
Meanwhile in Florida…
Christy lay on the couch, enjoying the last bite of her Patsy’s Xite Delta 9 THC Ratio Chocolate Popcorn. Lisa had sent it over earlier, knowing Christy could use some relaxation while waiting for Paul to finally “remember” Sweetest Day. The blend of chocolate and the subtle effects of Delta 9 THC had helped take the edge off her anxiety about the weekend.
She scrolled through her phone, texting Lisa about Paul’s latest nonchalant response.
Christy: “He said something about my brain tingling this weekend. He better mean more than just watching football.”
Lisa: “LOL, sounds like he’s dropping hints. I told you, he’s probably up to something. Just hang tight.”
Christy sighed, still not fully convinced. She loved Paul, but his football tunnel vision often left her wondering if he could balance romance with game-day enthusiasm. She eyed the empty bag of popcorn, feeling the calm vibes set in. Maybe I should trust him this time…
Back in Ohio…
Paul wrapped up the day’s work and headed home, where he finally allowed himself to relax. He poured a few drops of the Tri-Shrooms Lion's Mane Extract into a glass of water, letting the subtle, earthy taste help him focus. He knew he’d need to be on his A-game to keep the surprise under wraps for just a little longer.
He took a sip and fired off a text to Christy:
Paul: “Trust me, this weekend will be unforgettable 😉.”
Christy: “Mmm, we’ll see about that. 😏”
Paul grinned. The countdown to Sweetest Day was on.
