Rather than drag up 985c8c517e that memory and make 8b8002ef11 him sad, I decided ed8a5ec718 to tell him something b9dcc1f702 that would make him 2c11339356 happy.

The strength in e4c2e7de17 Rio’s arms tightened 57d29a663d further, his already 57f6277445 solid muscles hardening 77ebb6e234 like stone.
