Law school took her away from him then he decided to hustle and get the megabucks that would keep her comfortable and fulfilled in life. “But what about me?” he asked himself and had a sip of his Green Monster. Would she believe that Senator Madu has so collapsed my Jericho wall that grasshoppers can now walk over it? Nku shook his head, had a sip and shook his head again. He smacked his lips and its pinkness polished forth.
