You should go. You have a lot to do in the morning. I’m staying tonight. Put on my T-shirt and I’ll sleep in my jeans in case someone’s wandering in the night. But I’m staying. Your mother will know y...
You know, you try to hide the fact that you’re nice, she said. I think it’s natural for you to be kind. Nowww, he warned. You’ll ruin my reputation. You haven’t even established one yet, she said. No...
