"haha but you didn't right?"

"of course, I didn't. I can't hit a woman, I am not a wife beater or an abuser but according to her that's what I am. Her brother fought me"

"Buy you should never give up on your dreams, Be you, Do you, We are all a hidden gem. My Grandma Always tells me that"

Listening to Andrea speak, Gave Josh chills "The journey of a man is not a child's play. There would be obstacles but don't let them pull you down, Show them they underestimated The wrong man"

Josh look at Andrea as those words penetrated his ears "Excuse me, I need to have a word with the police officer"
