Wyatt’s lips curve into a full smile, covering his face and revealing his perfect white teeth. I can’t help but compare it to how a dog bares its teeth when it’s about to bite you in the ass.

“True, the locale would be a hindrance. If I still lived here. I recently relocated to New York, and as it turns out, my time has just been freed up. I’m excited to work directly with you on this new collaboration.”
