The wrath of a fairy

He led et-Me-Not pond, and I al snowcapped Rocky Mountains My appreciative gaze drifted over to Tudor; his eyes were closed, head back, breathing in deeply while clutchingIt was perfect Tudor andin the way, not even skinny blonde actresses with a penchant for Tudor-based delusions

When Tudor finally let , we took a seat on a bench at one of the isolated vantage points Snuggling into the crook of Tudor’s are I needed answers to some questions I realised I had said yes to Tudor and a relationship very quickly, ignoring all of the times he had dis sex session can kind of do that to a girl I probably let the feminist movement down so treated so badly I kneas sorry, his actions more than ure it all out in my head

I rolled in’ problem? Why did he have to hide so ripped my hand "Tash, this won’t be forever Hopefully it will be resolved soon, and I pro I just can’t tell you now, I can’t risk it getting out into the public, and before you say it, I know you wouldn’t tell anyone, but there’s legal shit to deal with and I just can’t risk it I just don’t want you to give up on me" He leaned forward and put his head in his hands
