Envy at the peak
TW: miscarriage caused by a third party ENVY AT THE PEAK It was a bright evening when Gloria decided to introduce her boyfriend to her best frienwww.onedoor.ccd, Sandra.

If she catches the Covid virus, she will have to self-isolate, and then I, her backup dancer, will have to take her place in the show.
