We know that Cole has her.” “Yes…he does.” She replied, cooly. “You already knew that?” I asked in confusion. She laughed a psychotic laugh, “Of course we know, he’s good for her.” Rhett stared at the phone, a mixture of disgust, anger, and shock across his…

It was worth driving through the hail and rain for at least an hour to get this sweet little thing. I hear the unusual noises that she is making.
