“I wish I could say they’re not always like this,” I whisper “But they’re always like this”

Daniel wraps his ar Strangely right and evenaway or flipping a gasket about it being too th, breathing in his fresh woods scent as I do

“I didn’t tell them,” I whisper as I lay my cheek on his broad shoulder
