Chapter 1430

Hertha took a hearty gulp of her soda, a cheeky grin spreading across her face as she turned to Spencer, “I’m just so stoked for you, man. Congrats! When the big day comes around, you must send me an invitation.”

As she spoke, Hertha grabbed a couple of cans from the cooler, popped one open for Spencer and another for herself. She raised her can towards him, “Here’s to you. I’d toast with a beer, but soda will have to do for now.”
