We have a Baroness and a diplomat. They were a team in a global organization. And they had an affair. And both were addicted to something. She to ****** and he to saving the world. She promised him to quit and he promised her to quit. He promised to quit if she promised to submit to a clinic after he quit his world saving addiction. She promised to enter the clinic if he promised to leave the world’s stage. They sat in a hotel room and she says, for the time being you can use you diplomatic status and pouches to get me the brown sugar. He said, the world saver he was, that could be great cover, for the time being. Diplomaniak, I love you. Baroness, you sweet Brownie, I love you. So for the time being as it was nothing changed. The diplo haggled and joked with the dealers. He had learned the trade from his parents who both had been junkies. So he bought the best of the best. The Baroness took it for granted she got the best of the best. Pouches came and went and the diplo covered it all up with a crazy story. About them containing samples of biochemicals used in warfare. And used by him to expose rogue states. All to prevent exposing his rogue mate. Dealers asked him, you on the sugar? No, it’s for my sugar. I’m on a drop of whiskey and a puff of tobacco. But then time being as it was something changed. The diplo finally found a suitable successor. One who wasn’t trying to save the world. The world decided it would do it’s saving it self. So in came a peace loving and peaceful negotiator. A man who extended existing wars and supported starting new ones. The Baroness booked herself into the clinic. The diplo visited her every day. This time without the sugar but with a bottle of crème de cacao for her and a drop of whiskey for him. The nurse expressly had forbidden any stimulants in the clinic, so the diplo used a different pouch. He bought a large chocolate box. Together they retreated to a secluded spot in the garden and enjoyed sips of their respective browns. One day the Baroness said, I’ve got to tell you something. I’ve fallen in love. With whom? With the nurse. Well, that’s better than being married to the needle, said the diplo. You don’t care? I care a lot but only for you. Her new lover barred him from visiting her. But the diplo found a way around this. He mimicked the voices of her family members and got her to visit him in their usual hotel rooms. There they sipped their browns in secret. But the time being as it was one of them died. And when that happened their last words to each other were that they stopped making promises to each other.
