“Small shop, big results. Alex clearly means it when he says no corners cut.”
Somehow already better
“I didn't even finish explaining what I wanted and it was already right. Slightly unsettling. Mostly great.”

“She said I finally look like I have my life together. I do not. But I look like it now.”
