“You can take your time. With anything. I mean, I’m a little bit obsessed with this… you could take all the time in the world.”
Guess that made sense. After all, that highlight color wasn’t fading out—a light in my eyes that was going to be shining for years and years to come.
Not the worst vacation in the world.
