Love on the Rocks: The Mountain Meltdown ⛰️
So, our protagonist took his pancake-loving girlfriend on a hike, despite having a football game to catch later. He warned her about the hike’s difficulty and his need to return home in time, but she insisted on joining him. As she struggled to keep up and complained throughout the hike, he made the tough decision to leave her on the mountain and head back alone. He watched the game in the car, waiting for her to return, but she didn’t make it down until the 4th quarter. Now, she won’t talk to him, and he’s left wondering if he made the right choice. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this rocky love story…
