He’s moved out of the cave, and wants to know how to decorate a modern masculine room.
A country boy at heart with just the slightest hint of a southern drawl.
He’s travelled from Austin to Zanzibar with his grandfather’s worn monogrammed leather bag.
As he strolls across the room he gets approving side glances, but his big, cheesy smile says he only has eyes for you.
You don’t need to turn around to know he’s arrived because the whole room fills with his energy.
