I was setting up another proxy route when my laptop blinked.

And if so, I don't want to outright ignore them, especially if this is something ALL CAPS important. I tap my finger on the mouse for a moment, contemplating, the clock the email, finding a link in the body, and nothing more. Just a tiny red link. I leaned closer, squinting so I could read the words that is embedded in the URL. Hot southern sugar babies. What the hell is that?
