We sat at the same table as yesterday, and one of the best things was that my food was already paid for. was weird I didn’t question it because that meant I had to spend even less money which I was totally fine“So you did dance in college, me too I did ballet, you must be good right?” Olivia interrogated me. Fromhad already sensed that she was a girl who loved to get to the bottom of everything.
