"He's outside, in the woods," She replied, putting the lid on the skillet and grabbing her phone. "It's snowing a bit, but, he'll be alright if my research on wolverines has proved to be fruitful." She picked up the "Hybrid 101" manual, leafing through the pages.257Please respect copyright.PENANA42CZYqNQxT
