AURORA: for a ride on his bike and a cuddle in the tub.
MIA: *smiles* Making me wonder what Rigs is up to now. *glances at the door* A ride and soak sounds nice. *sighs at the tablet* Teachers my senior year of high school weren't very nice. I'm talkin' the majority of them, too. Their 'concern'

MARCUS: to record with me because I don't purposefully leave a mic on as I talk about their looks. I treat them like the musicians they are &, at this point, if I can help them snag a headlining tour for themselves, I'm going to do it. *sends & glances up as the white 'Walk' light displays*
