Chances are there’s going to be people who like that.’ It was a big unlock for me. If you make something you think is dope, other people will too.”

Their relationship has evolved into a harmonious collaboration, with the two of them spending quality time together. He's obsessed with her and her talent. Music is Kevin's real passion, not film. As long as Jewel keeps playing that guitar, Kevin will keep following her around! They're both divorced and each likes to play and write their own songs, so they were instantly drawn together. By the time they were ready to leave, they had made plans to meet up again and see where things go."

Dear Fonseca,
I brought cupcakes to my daughter's 4th grade class last Thursday. On Friday, I received a call from the school and a parent of one of the students in my daughter's class. The parent claims their son ate one of my cupcakes and chipped his tooth on either a peanut or M&M. The parent wants me to pay for their child's dental work. The school is suggesting I'm liable and should pay to make the problem go away. My husband and I are outraged. Am I responsible? How do we know the child even chipped their tooth on my cupcake? Nothing was said in class. Would you pay if you were us?
