Deal

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] She drives a hard bargain. You give me something I want and I’ll give you something you want. Could we touch hands again? I love how your teams of fingers feel. Could we work something out? You drive a hard bargain - But what can I say to that ribbon in your hair, and that forehead that I have [...]
