This week’s story comes to us care of Canadian writer, Blair Mlotek. It made me nostalgic for a road trip to Montreal that my New York pals and I took about a decade ago.

(She wasn’t wrong.)
A group of friends make up the cast of “On A Mission”, centered around two lifelong best buds. Josh Cooper, the literal boy next door, has always been there for Hunter.
