#$$$
The drink has been too expensive; thank you.
Love–though free–is evermore finite and therefore fittingly
costly.
Blondes are more considerate than we had previously thought.
Today my boss asked me what I’d do if there were only six months left to live.

and said I was courageous.
Boba tea wasn’t that good.
Though neither was I, but the price of living impulsively rises exponentially until
the
bitter
end.
