My leg bounced up and down the entire ti in the reception area This tiy that floodedin the tunnel in a stadiuround underdown a lion with nothing but a spear and a broken shield I had to do this

“Leo What are you doing here?” Kathleen’s voice broke through the nerves building inside e double doors

She harrumphed and stormed off
