MY GIRLFRIEND THE SLAVE TRADER

A few years back I was taking a Wednesday off to play golf with a friend at Brentwood Country Club in Los Angeles.

My longtime girlfriend at the time was delightfully antithetical to L.A. A sweet girl from Virginia. Natural, almost hippie ashy blonde with sparkly green eyes. Age appropriate. Mayflower type. Creative, talented, and never discussed boring celebrity gossip.

When you’re in a relationship in L.A. you have 2 huge payoffs. Built in dinner plans and someone to keep you company while sitting in soul crushing traffic.
