“I don’t know! I’et a lawyer!” April curled over and covered her eyes She was going to cry And get blotchy And look like a complete wreck when she showed up on her date

“If you break her heart, Saonna break your balls,” Lana said finally
Saue, but April took his arm “Don’t break his balls, Lana I like them” April reached over and took Lana’s hand “Please, try to be okay with this?”
“There are millions of wo my best friend?”
Samson clenched his jaw April looked up at hi, oddly, when cowed by his baby sister
