ROASTIE

Following. Thunder resting under the Lake, going with the current. Adapting, attracting followers, sincerity. The book means you're easy to follow. It doesn't mean on the app, sweetheart. You're going to follow a person or a plan right over a waterfall, and call it being open to things. Ya roasted!
