I’m up early the following day for a morning jog without Hiro for the first time. As much as I’d love to take him, I realize he’s getting older and can no longer keep up the pace. But it’s probably best because I’m not just out here jogging aimlessly today—I…
With a few hours to spare before Mase and Zoe’s wedding, I step out of the house to enjoy a long jog. The only thing I miss about country living is the cool, crisp morning air, so I’ll enjoy as much of it as possible while here. Shortly after Dub…

It’s an unseasonably hot fall morning, so I return to the skills academy for a jog around the lake. I pass that Violet girl again when I arrive on campus and make it a point to avoid her. I arrive at the lake and pick up my speed. The ducks…
