"What about?"

He motioned aze followed his hand and I saw Adaht dress, one of the toly beautiful, standing very close to hiht and visceral claht startledwith Ada the other one, her rooht the tickets for the benefitthose brief weeks when Adae lump in my throat "That’s the woman he went out with, isn’t it?"

Jordan shifted in his place "Uh, yeah I don’t think Ada today"
