Open Letter to Man at the Valvoline Oil Change

Dear man at the Valvoline Oil Change in Crystal, MN,

I don’t know why I winked at you, but rest assured it was an involuntary muscle spasm. When you came up to my car and asked me if you had oil all over your face, I didn’t know what you were talking about or how to react. And that’s when my face decided to wink in a reactive manner.

It’s not that you were not an attractive fellow. I just enjoy boys as friends and not lovers. You may feel the same way, I do not know. Our uncomfortable small talk post-wink didn’t indicate your feelings one way or another.

Please do not track me down. I am not in love with you.

Best regards,
Aric McKeown
