❨ that was a joke. she's never tried peppermint tea. seems like a good time to look around the living room, see how ... organized he is. nowhere close to onslaught type of organization. ❩

❨ ... well, he isn't the enemy. ❩

ㅤ hrrrk— uh yeah, yeah.

❨ was he looking for more praise from his little rocking.ᐣ ❩
