Karen Moy's words say, "And they lived happily ever after." June Brigman's art says, "I'm not so sure about that..."

Brandy is really good at doing running on the Boardwalk. And she knows all the modern lingo like “Penny for your thoughts.” And she’s considerate enough to explain what it means to Tommy who is not as good at doing running as Brandy and has to sit down to talk.

A perfect match.
