It’s been a while since I’ve been this infatuated with someone Jesus, what a rush I can’t screw this up, and the best way to insure success in that is to cut off any other action for the duration After the hour or so the two of us spent in ht, I’ve lost all interest in everyone else anyway I want her Period
