This is one of those one-shot stories that are "junk food" folks can't help but eat once in a very long while.
I find it fine and cute. The style is lovely.
But the premise is something I will not tolerate nor personally do in real-life.
I am sure most folks here are mature and sane enough to do the same.
Separate fictional relationships like this from your everyday real-life.
PS. In short: you're not a horrible person if you find this fiction a little enjoyable and sweet.
