Dearest toxic,
I was wondering if you could please share a word or two regarding Daddy Slasher Joel’s first impressions of the reader.
Also maybe I’m extra stupid but does he really work for the towing company??? Just the way he pulled up and his “uniform” seemed a lil sus to me.
All the love in the world,
A devoted Slasher wife, and camper princess.

Great questions. If anything, you’re extra smart. I dub you a red flag detector 🚩. And boy do I have lore. . .
Tow Company: You’re supposed to wonder if he really works for the company: He's not the guy you spoke to on the phone, his truck is unmarked, and he’s tuned into a radio where he can hear dispatch information (since there’s “no cell phone service”). IF/when he has bad intent, it would be smart to pick off jobs from other drivers instead of his own.
But the truck is also how he makes money. So I think he’s a sketchy contract tow trucker who also takes an occasional job covertly as described above. The tow truck company doesn’t have him as an employee, they just coordinate and dispatch independent drivers then pay them for the jobs, deducting a fee. Joel specializes in the late night jobs because not many people will take them. He’s kinda bottom of the barrel 🥺.
I think he dreams of having his own business and he's "working on it." He doesn't have the business acumen 🥺 but his mom encourages him 🥹. He sits at his TV dinner stand working on names and plans. He draws logos. He scratches out ones he thinks are stupid 🥺. "Joel’s 24/7 Tow Truck" "Joel's Late Night Tow" (He's still working on it). Logo of his truck from the side (crossed out). Logo of the giant hook in the foreground of his truck with a ton of erasing where he's trying to get the perspective right.
First impressions of the reader: The first thing he sees is your short dress and the fact that you’re hot and alone. He senses you’ve had it with this day and you're probably not paying close attention. He catches you checking him out and starts to think there could be potential. Maybe you’re DTF. By the time he gets hard and you stay straddling him, he’s sure of it.
Lots of love 🥰💙🔪, a slasher sympathizer
