Hm. I think I'm a little late to reply since you sent that seven hours ago and it's currently 3:30am but yeah I have no clue what's going on with that

also, you could've texted me, maybe I would've replied sooner then

Subject: it's actually 3:34

it's 3:34 u dumbass

and there wasn't any wifi so it would only let me send email. that was quite a winery though. pretty, but oh my was it something. I got a weird souvenir thingy that is a cork coaster and it has the date of the wedding on it. no clue what I'm gonna do with it  of course

Then, my phone pinged.

Hudson River: whether it's after 3:30 or not, I was close enough. it was 3:30 when I sent that
Hudson River: also, YOU DANCED WITH RANDY?!?? WHY?!!!?!

Me: HIS MOM WANTED HIM TO DANCE WITH A GIRL BUT WHEN SHE ASKED HIM SHE SAID SOMEONE SO TO GET REVENGE ON HER (I guess? idk if it was revenge but whatever) HE ASKED ME TO DANCE WITH HIM SINCE IM A GUY AND NOT A GIRL

It has always felt weird whenever I called myself a guy or my family called me their son. It's like a feeling of being out of place. I can never figure out why I feel like that, though, because other times I don't care.

Hudson River: OHHHHHH
Hudson River: BUT WHY DID YOU SAY YES????

Me: HE OFFERED TO PAY ME AND THEN I FELT BAD SO I GAVE IN OUT OF PITY

Hudson River: DUDE WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE HIM UP ON THAT??? YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN BANK

Me: I'M NOT GONNA TAKE SOMEONE'S MONEY TO DANCE WITH THEM FOR ONE SONG!!!! WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE, A MONSTER?? NO

Hudson River: apparently imma monster then

Me: I think you have enough money as it is

Hudson River: meh, it's always better when it's someone else's

Me: disagreed
Me: go to sleep idiot, it's 3:45am

Hudson River: I DON'T WANNA
Hudson River: DON'T MAKE MEEEEE :(((

Me: if you want, I'll come over before the sun rises and we can watch it on your roof. You need to sleep first though

Hudson River: NO I WANNA WATCH IT FROM YOURS, YOURS IS ON A HILL SO YOU CAN SEE MORE BUT YES I WANNA DO THAT

Me: then go to sleep

Hudson River: BYE

Me: night idiot

I woke up by a tapping sound on my window. I groggily turned to face Hudson. After I got out of bed, I opened the window. "How the hell did you get up here?"
