Joe used to have a beige lock box on one of his shelves. Sometimes after we would have sex, I would wonder what was inside there. I always assumed it was something bad since he kept his bowl, weed, and porn in plain sight.
Maybe one day he caught me staring at it cause he opened it up and we looked through it together. It was filled with old baseball cards and other childhood mementos. There was this really funny picture of him and his mom on a roller coaster when he was a chubby little kid. It was such a simple, silly little gesture but it really pulled on my heart strings. We had a lot of sex when we were together, followed by deep conversations and cuddling, he knew some of my secrets and I knew some of his, but this was probably our most intimate moment together.
