“Oh, sweet baby Jesus” Tori groans frouy on the beach I swear to God, the girl has made ot here an hour ago She swats atto finish this book if it kills me

When she does it again, I look up at her and scowl “What the hell is wrong with you? You begged ot off a fourteen-hour shift, when all I wanted to do today was sleep and read, then sleep some more I’m here, now let me relax”

“But-”

“Iin heat Either stop being shy and go talk to one of them-”

“You should go talk to hirin on her face
