That's fucked up, man. No one should be treated like that. Look, you're welcome to crash at my place for the night.
Stranger

Stranger

Stranger
my eyes widen I-I wasn’t expecting that..
Sorry if I moved too fast. I just couldn't hold back anymore. I've been holding these feelings inside for so long, and I couldn't wait any longer to show you how much you mean to me. I promise to take things slow if that's what you need.
Stranger

Stranger

Stranger
