" Who says yes? answered the lover briefly.
However, because he was already struggling, all his energy had been mobilized, the man continued to try to get the meeting to take place.

" Besides, it's dawn, bro. Your girl already told you that she doesn't want to, maybe you should rest first then meet her, who knows, maybe she'll be in a better mood. It doesn't have to be everything you want, bro. BTW, I'm cool, " wrote the account @pedasmanis
" My advice is that if it's far away, before you come, make sure he will accept it, " said the account @bona.
" I used to be like this. Then on the way home I cried and daydreamed until I couldn't focus on driving ," wrote the account @indomistrt
