"Don’t look at ot waylaid by a pretty lawyer on the corner I would’ve been on time if she hadn’t stopped to talk to me"

Salem’s eyebrows shot up and her bloodred lips quirked up at the edges "The same one that came in here? Sayer? She’s the one I spilled coffee on the other day She’s very nice"

I nodded and leaned on the counter, wayabout us than the lawyer "Wanna hang out tonight?" I wiggled h

"Sure I have so I want to show you anyway I can come over to your place later"

"Cool" I rappedthe puppy I don’t think I’ll be sending you back to your own place"

She rolled her dark eyes and flipped her long hair over her shoulder "Pretty sure of yourself, Rowdy"
