"Hold on let me spark this first. ," stood Sincere catching fire to her backwood, taking in as much as she could before going inside with Messiah not far behind.

"I been meaning to ask you when you start smoking so much, I thought you hated the smell. ," Messiah took another puff holding it between his lips.

"I dunno over time I guess things change. ," shrugged Sincere.
