Hey. You consider switching up your duds there? Bit stiff for this town.
At least I don't look like a lumberjack. 😠😄❤️

Listen to me, you undead blood junkie, I'm the one with the mojo. I'm the one with the plan. Cas... we're gonna shove your ass back through the eye of that needle if it kills all three of us.

I’m not leaving here without you. 🥹😍❤️
