Premiere: Lakewest – Blood Orange

He stared at the wall, his intense gaze affixed on the flaking paint that revealed the chalky plaster beneath. He’d spent the morning trying to process the events that had unfolded, trying to draw his own you conclusions: but perhaps that wasn’t healthy — what you don’t know can’t hurt you, right?
