that the girls had near frozen the water in which was hitting a certain part of Emil’s anatomy. “Are you ok with the girls taking a shower with your boy toy?” Lloyd clinches his fist, and grits his teeth, as he resisted the urge to shatter Alexander’s jaw.

The next few months my sister began dieting and exercising and continued to reach and reset her weight goal.
