YOU ARE DANGEROUS
Daniel Fernandez is not my type.
He's a cop. He has tattoos.
I need a sperm donor who listens to E-40, like Ricky.
I love Ricky, but I'm not in love with Ricky.
I don't need someone like Christian.
He can build a dog house.
I don't know what I need.
I don't need anyone.
I AM FIRE.
What if he means it? What if he doesn't?
Does he want to have a future with me?
What if Daniel is not dangerous?
What if he's everything I need?
Tick, tock, Juliana
