Wyatt slowed to a stop. Noah continued on for a few feet…
““Wyatt slowed to a stop. Noah continued on for a few feet before he realized Wyatt had dropped back, and he turned to look at him questioningly. “I don’t think I can do this,” Wyatt said. Noah nodded in understanding and walked back beside him. He reached up and smacked Wyatt on the side of the head. “Did you leave your balls in his toilet too?” " Ow! What? No!” “Then get the lead out, Case,” Noah said as he grabbed Wyatt’s elbow and began pulling him along. “I hate you.””
