The next morning I layed in bed just staring at the ceiling wondering if I allowed this would it ruin my life or make it exciting like I had originally wanted it. You never know until you try. I made my mind up. I got dressed and did my hair and make up feeling like I shouldn't look crappy when I tell him. When I was done I stepped back and looked at myself. Light brown hair with a few sun streaks. Blue eyes and the slightest tan. My Summertime Madness shirt and blue jean shorts fitting just right. I put on a comfortable pair of sneakers and head for the stairs. When I get down into the living room Heath is standing by the front door looking out and Eric (who looks a lot better after his drink) sitting on the couch watching TV. Wheres Stark? Heath doesn't turn around and Eric keeps his eyes on the screen.” [Jade](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/jade/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
