His eyes flickered excitedly as he rushed out to drop my luggage from the trunk.I stepped out and glanced around the tidy lawns and serenity of the environment.

After going back and forth on the moral reasons why she shouldn’t take time out from work, I finally convinced her to spend the whole day with me.“Fine…but you owe me big time, girl.” Eunice let out a sigh of exasperation.
