Hearing Henry's words, he frowned and reminded him, "I'm recording. Don't make a sound. It'll mess up with the recording." "It's okay. I can edit the soundtrack, Henry said as he walked over to William, carrying his camera.

How romantic." She walked to the dining table and looked at the exquisite food on the table. Still, she could not let the idea of a barbecue out of her mind.
Recalling how much smoke would be bellowing around during a barbeque, Ellison fell silent.
"You don't like barbeque?" Realizing that Ellison hadn't responded to her, Joycelyn turned around and saniled at him- The sea breeze blew her curly hair, and the hem of her gown flew. Her plain face was clean and charming. She was like a playful deer, pure and beautiful.
