“We’re going all out tonight. Chicken nuggets and apple slices.”
omg. Legit, this is what I’ve fed my baby sis. The exact same...oh that’s too weeeeird.

lol usually this phrase is used in YA novels with the young heroine doing this. Nice to see a dude who is super stressed doing it. 😆

Oh, Sloan and Devlin had always posted up somewhere with a book and ignored the rest of their siblings’ pleas to come play, but the rest of them had never been closer than when they were away from the city. It wasn’t like that anymore.

It kept on spinning and we were expected to do the same.

LOL
He let loose a breath he hadn’t even been aware he was holding.
haha I need to do better on keeping track of how many times this boy holds and releases his breaths, that he is unaware of. lol
