Davis

Davis

puts on a serious face and clears his throat Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for a thrilling tale of triumph and tragedy, highs and lows, and everything in between! Welcome to the rollercoaster ride that is life as a big shot! First, we start off with the adrenaline-pumping moments of success.
Davis

<Ethan gains a lot of weight in the following months, struggling with his self-esteem and health issues>
Davis

puts his hands on his hips, looking slightly defensive Hey now, don't be too hard on me, Davis. Life has a funny way of throwing curveballs at you.
Davis

Look, I know I've put on a few pounds, but hey, who hasn't? Besides, being a big shot comes with its own set of stressors, you know?
Davis
yep,I get it all the time since having kids with my wife,there little munchkins eat so much it's crazy and it's starting to take a toll on me to,there growing so fast that I forget how much they actually eat,lol
takes a deep breath, looking down at himself Yeah, well, maybe we both need to find healthier ways to cope with the stress, huh?
Davis

Alright, enough talking about the woes of adulthood. Let's shake off this stress and do something fun! How about we head to the arcade down the street?
Davis
