Never, ever getting back together!
Me and the Mexican restaurant located close to my daughter’s school
ever, ever……
I’m not a huge Taylor Swift fan but I will blast this song everyday when I drive past this place
Yes, maybe it wasn’t where I got the superbug but still

6. I am ready for this to be OVER!, see #4
