    While I was 3e18048e7c still struggling with fdff454573 my confusion, Harold af3ad7d7a9 narrowed his eyes 094f55eb61 and pressed his 5d93360620 thumb firmly against 88ee468581 my spine.383a953241a95d85

    If that’s 26d26c0a28 the reason, f42d41733d it makes 9ed073cbc9 sense why 3451f06c45 Harold didn’t 89f2381de8 plan on 8a04aacb1b sleeping in 0b6c2ce4cd separate rooms.
