We are NOT the world’s sexiest couple. At least, not at the moment…though Scorpio normally fulfills his half of the effort and more.

This is the extended version of the event, so watch the entire thing. Pay particular attention to the little boy, from beginning to end. Notice what he hears, says, sees, and how [...]

Have you been absolutely exhausted recently and can’t figure out why? Extra sleep and vitamins aren’t cutting it?
