“He’s wearing dark grey sweatpants and a white T-shirt with an illustration of Ellie from The Last of Us.”
Ryan J. Hamshaw, The Dark Friars

“My cheeks suddenly feel very warm as I stare down at my damp, naked body. Oh hell, maybe I should just bury myself under a pile of towels and hide forever? ‘Could you, um, give me a moment to, you know, get myself together?’ I mumble, quickly grabbing a towel to cover up my junk. Lily’s laughter comes through the phone. ‘Sure thing. Take your time, you clumsy queen.”
Ryan J. Hamshaw, The Dark Friars

“Give her a day, and she’ll be trying to fill my pockets with healing crystals.”
Ryan J. Hamshaw, The Dark Friars
