Ray had one hand in his pocket, holding a cigarette between his fingers. He asked. "Happy now? Acting like a kid content with just a bucket of smoothies. Don't you chase after anything? Ene thought. Chase after? As long as I am being chased, why wish for it?'

Ray stubbed out his cigarette and was momentarily unsure about his life's goals. After thinking for a while, he finally said. "My goal is once I've earned enough money, I'll buy a big house by the beach and maybe get a dog." "And find a wife?" Eric suggested

Trent paused his steps, causing Natalie to stop as well, both turning to look toward the voice.
