So clear... I didn't bother replying to Ryn. Instead, I squeezed out another pump of the lotion and rubbed it onto my neck. There was a strange man waiting outside, and no matter how uncomfortable I felt, I wasn't about to lift my clothes and wash myself right now. Still, my neck had a few itchy mosquito
