Pregame
Mickey Miller - 2018

And that's very clear by his behavior.So those are the first four things, already. And also:*Mason's the hottest bartender in Blackwell. Maybe even in the U.S.A. *He loves to cavort around my house shirtless and dare me to lick his six-pack*We may or may not have had a secret make out session in high school we vowed never to tell anyone aboutOh...I'm sorry. I was supposed to be saying all the reasons we can't hook up?These pregame beers must be affecting me... Basically--my brother Cole will kill me (and Mason) if he finds out we're a thing. But what if it's not just a hook-up?What if it's something deeper? Problem is, once we veer into this territory, there's no going back. Maybe I'll just head to the bar instead to get out of here.
