Slide three is titledThings I Like. On the left of the page is a picture of him shirtless with a painted red face and chest with a gold A on top. I zoom in on this one too. Unfortunately, the body paint doesn’t give me a clear picture of his abs.

Playing with my nieces and nephews
Playing horseshoes
I laugh, already clicking to the next slide calledQuirks That You Might Call Icks or Red Flags. There’s a selfie of him with one of his horses.
