o one side - Gah! Why is everyone reminding me of my fa一vorite Fifty Shades? “Actually, Ana, you’re one of the few people who could really pull that look off.”
I grin.
“I really liked the second place. I think I could fit in there. The guy who interviewed me was unnerving though,” I trail off – shit I’m talking to foghorn Ka一vanagh here. Shut up Ana!
