"Pappie’s made balancing school and work so much easier. Highly recommend!" "One of the best jobs I’ve had—fun environment, good pay, and free pastries!" Sophia felt a wave of relief wash over her.

"To go back out into the world would be a grave offense to those who had previously fallen." and she uttered beyond the veil of this blinding scenery. "But thank you all the same, Maru. I shall remember your compassion and bear it within me until..." Ezperanza paused her words as she looked back once again at Maru.

As the joint empire stood on the cusp of a new chapter, the suspense and surprises continued to shape the narrative.

Once he was far enough not to hear us, Esperanza let out a small squeal and grabbed my arm dramatically. “Oh my God,” she whispered, eyes wide with excitement. “I must be so lucky. I never realized I was going to bump into him today. I must be the luckiest person alive.” I raised an eyebrow, sipping my coffee. “Really?” “Yes, really!” she gushed, her voice barely contained. “I mean, do you see him? The hair! The accent! That slight stubble! He looks like he belongs on the cover of some billionaire romance novel.”

The purpose of this book is to help you keep your head high and walk straight. You slouch when you sit, you slouch when you walk and you slouch when you do everything. This book would help keep you in shape; Tobias could walk perfectly with five thick books on his head.
