Luke glances over at ain I decide to throw him a lifeline "Yes, this is the brilliant one And this beautiful lady is his mother, Anita"
Sasha shakes hands with Anita "It’s so nice to e situation, what Emma told me about it anyway But you couldn’t wish for better relations than Tank and Finn"

"I’lad he was there to stand up for you sweetie Would you like so to eat while you’re here?" Anita has already accepted Sasha as one of her own, I can tell

"Luke, this is my older brother Tank and the only woman who can make him behave, Emma Shaw"
Tank scowls at my introduction "Hey I know this is unexpected And I’ll leave if you wantharassed by this guy so honestly I expected the rest of you to show up at some point"

But there’s another part of me, rooted in the heart that loved her that just wants to understand why I need to understand exactly what he did wrong and as
And I need to understand what it was about me that drove away the only woman I’ve ever wanted to stay
By the ti with unwanted love advice E thatin relationships I tried to tell them several times that I wasn’t in a relationship and have no intention of being in one but after a while I just let theirls school me Or maybe they were just happy the attention wasn’t on them
