The other day, I sent Squishy outside to get the mail. I was expecting some things, so she wanted to run out and grab it. As she pulled things out, I noticed an extra tiny padded envelope. She came back into the house, and I wondered what it was, noticing it was addressed to me.
I took it upstairs with the rest of my mail, and opened it up. Inside, was a necklace with a pendant that I thought was rather pretty. There was also an invoice, which I unfolded, and checked.
It showed a user name for the buyer, which I recognized as the character name of someone I used to larp with. He was a friend, but someone that I hadn't connected with in a while. I took a picture, and looked for him on facebook messenger. Rather than make assumptions of the item itself, I sent the picture, asking if he was responsible for it.
He had ordered it and accidentally selected my address, since he had ordered me something years ago. I told him that I could either send it to him, or hold it hostage until he could make it here.
Well, I had to send it off because he needed it soon, but we have plans to meet up after the holidays. We've been talking more, and this wound up being a little spark that helped bring a friend back to my life.
And I know I just got burned by someone trying to reconnect, but sometimes, you just need to take the balls life throws at you.
