First names and personalities I have... surnames I do not. 1. Liberty/Libby _____. She's about mid-20's, very kind and bubbly, if a little tactless at times. 2. Greg ______. He's mid-late 20's, calm, patient and understanding - even though he's so physically clumsy. :) I'm so stuck! If it helps, it's modern day...
