The next tie I told her I was bringing Jensen home, but I should let her know he’s on the way Just as the phone starts to ring my dad cooes to voice up and send Jensen a quick text

“You sure you don’tthese to the builder? I can do it, son,” my dad says, and I shake my head

“Nah, it’s on the way home for o” I wink at hi my stomach exercises so I can eat at least three times”

“I’ll tell yourbehind him
