The Peacock 1433

"what do you make of her otherwise?" "I am still processing the meeting. I've never met anyone like that before. Basically, she just walks in, takes control, and we are all her captive audience.

I see Melissa'ss red Honda parked in front of the house, but we appear to be arriving right on time
