"Lately, I've been getting jumpy. I wanna kick some ass. Then I remembered you and I got some unfinished business." I cursed myself because I had just promised Ronnie I wouldn't fight. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ronnie watching me, waiting for me to say something. "Well, isn't that unfortunate. I can't beat you, so there's no need fighting you. You win, Golden boy. I stand no chance against you." Golden boy's stare became deadly. "Remember Jacob? He's a good acquaintance of mine." I tried to keep my expression deadpan. "Yeah, so?"

And she also loved humming or singing while cooking, so I started humming the song Rosie liked me to sing after she just woke from a nightmare. "Anne are you okay? "Brian asked me, an handsome looking guy was standing beside him looking at me also with surprise written all over his face. "I'm fine, why'd you ask, "I said smiling. He wiped a tear off my face, I didn't know I was even crying, that must be why they we're looking at me that way. I quickly cleaned my cheeks. "Then why are you crying?
