Bored out of his mind, he decided to scroll through his social media feed.
Just a couple of swipes in, his eyes widened, bringing his phone closer for a better look.
Curtis rarely updated his social media, and when he did, it was usually dull industry news, like a barely alive finance marketing account suddenly showing signs of life.

Jennifer reminded him again, "Don't just focus on work all the time. You need to take care of your health." "I know," Curtis asked, "How's Grandma doing? "The sas always. She's been complaining about not being able to eat again," Jennifer sighed, "She's just being difficult. If she doesn't see Leanne for three days, she starts acting up.
