“You’ll keep together with your sister till I come again?”

“In fact.”

“I like you too, quick stuff.”

“Hallelujah,” Carrick sings.

Clay leaves my room laughing, however I decide up the straw from my desk and launch it at my brother. “You by no means develop up.”

“The place’s the enjoyable in that?”

And as a lot because it pains me to agree with my brother, he has a degree. We solely have one life. We have to dwell it, have enjoyable, and luxuriate in each second, as a result of at this time is right here however tomorrow isn’t assured. I do know solely too nicely how rapidly issues can change the trail we’re strolling on.
