Carry binoculars when hiking so when you make frequent stops, it looks like you’re appreciating nature and not fighting for air. —PRO TIP FROM DEL SOL SPORTING GOODS
“Yes. No fraternizing with criminals.” She wagged a finger at him in warning. He looked over his shoulder as Levi closed his door. “I guess this is the end of our bromance, dude.”
I would do everything in my power to let him know how loved he is. How adored. How … un-alone. And I would beg him to use a semicolon. Not a period.” It took Auri a minute to get her meaning, but it was beyond perfect. Pause. Don’t end.
