127Please respect copyright.PENANAEgPKo0eAYw
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2GFUU1PMuB
So I did and they listened with bated breath. They hung on my every word like I was really someone special. Ha, I guess I am. But I did leave out what happened with Anton and kept to the story I told Sever.
127Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y7Gz0lskf

After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I starting to get nervous again, say something.
