He called him to make sure I was really clear to go because he was worried I might still need additional follow up t
“Who will take care of Arriana?” I asked Arzhel while we were changing clothes. He was wearing his jeans, while I was buttoning my long-sleeved blouse. “Veronica just arrived here in New York. I texted her to come here,” he said. I nodded. Surprisingly, I somehow felt at peace knowing that it was
