Samuel's eyes have taken on such a red tinge he might be turning to hell's side so we've tucked him in to the sweet and cosy service station chairs. Eva's blood has been caffeinated to levels beyond dreamworld and so she is our watcher for the night. Sophia is closing weary eyes and eyeing up Costa's food bc nom noms are supreme. Love, The Footsquad.
