Rafe never liked the idea of smoking and he hadn't expected Tom to be one. "No, no I'm just visiting. I'm from Tennessee actually." ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Rafe McCawley decides to spent his lonely Friday at the bar again, expecting the usual. This changed when he laid eyes upon a young performer.
