the Astros. Pretty much every time that AJ and I face-time he is watching some form of sports. I think that AJ has always cared for me even though he does not say or show it. I know he loves me very much. Even though we've fought numerous times to the point where I didn't think we would recover, we did.

So about that proposal, how about we meet up for lunch.” Is it that time already? “Yeah, sounds great I’ll pick you up and we can think up a strategy.” She agreed and I snatched my wallet and keys, and then headed to my car.
