If there's anything you feel the need for me to know, please don't hesitate! I pray we all have had an awesome and restful summer. And that we have wonderful new school year. I made some treats and drinks for y'all, please enjoy!"

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t still trying to figure out how one man could carry that much aura without effort. He walked in his crisp suit, a black shirt buttoned just enough to hint at skin, and behind him came someone else. Someone unfamiliar, with a certain kind of striking good looks—structured jaw, brown hair styled like it knew what it was doing, and a suit that whispered, I’m young, but I’ve arrived.

Minnie stood with her arms folded and her chin up, exuding an air of superiority. "This waitress' attitude is terrible. You should just fire her!" The lobby manager kept her smile.
