Hot stuff

It seemed like Chiana had been a lot hotter than she used to be. I just assumed that with more stuff running on her and my tendency to have many things open at once that I was just working her hard.

Gabriel snores.

These two things do not make for a good combination! I keep waking him up.

Isn’t it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
