I’ot so freaked out that I swear et out ofto suffocate So then, after I removed my clothes, I laid down on the cold hardwood floor in the kitchen It seemed like the best idea in the world at the time, but I realize now from Xander’s perspective I look like I’ve lost my mind The ice cream drips on my bra and stomach probably don’t helphard to eat ice crea
