“What did it play?” “Anything about footwear?” Sonja asked, standing to shoot the runner. “There’s a scuff.” Wolf squinted. “Short lug, broad track. Tradie boot.

“Reminds me of myself. I’m only rich in dicks.” I let out a loud laugh, unable to ignore her humor. Savannah is like the sweet relief in our crew, the life of the party, less-ambitious yet an achiever. As for Mason, last year he experienced an incredible breakthrough after the app he had silently built in his old garage sold for $ 150 million. It's been one massive success after another since then. “Come to LA.” Savy’s voice pulls me out of my blank state. “What?” “Why not?” She throws the question back at me. “You no longer have a grown-ass man to babysit—”
