Your relic has been kept far from:
🚭 smoke
🍺 slurred‑speech beer heroes
🍭 pixie‑stick hyper children
👧🏻 Cheeto‑fingered Billy (he tried once; Juliet chased him away with a broom made from a stick and raccoon named Charlie!
🕺🏻 Friday‑night Tinder in‑laws, acquaintances, neighbors, coworkers, and snack‑bandits! Instead, it rests in a temperature‑controlled apple‑orchard bunker, guarded by Juliet, Chuck Norris (when young), and a teal lantern that hums the sacred, socially devastating gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you!Just like when you decided to click that nasty Internet link!!! May your new treasure arrive safely, sweetly, and with a little wink of orchard‑magic delight.
*May the odds be ever in your favor ✌🏻
Love Always, Juliet's Antidote 💕
