“What’s wrong with Dad?” Donald said helplessly. “Mom, didn’t we already put that last medical report behind us?”
Cathy said, “I just know he is not himself. I told him to buy Cheryl a car because Cheryl is learning with the dealership and found he never even placed an order.

“I have no clue where that
thousand dollars for the car deposit went, or who he splurged it on. I need to get to the bottom of this.”
Donald fell abruptly silent.
Cathy added, “He said he’s going to Shaville for Liam’s birthday. Liam is his old classmate, but his birthday isn’t until winter. There are still months away. He thinks my memory is failing, but I’m not senile yet.”
Hearing this, Donald fell silent again. Finally, he said, “Mom, you stay at home, and I’ll handle this instead. I’m off tomorrow. I’ll follow Dad and find out what he’s really up to for you.”

Teresa didn’t take a shower until Michael had fallen asleep again.
Michael adored the necklace. He had fiddled with it until he fell asleep, and it ended up resting on his forehead.
After Teresa finished her shower and was about to take the necklace off Michael, her phone rang.
Teresa saw the caller ID and picked up the call.
Jonathan asked, “Has everything been delivered? Did you get the flowers?”
Hearing Teresa’s positive answer, Jonathan continued, “What about,the necklace?”
Teresa said playfully, “It’s on a puppy’s head right now.”
Jonathan chuckled softly. “What?”
Teresa, at a rare playful moment, teased, “Didn’t you suggest I hang it on a dog’s neck if I didn’t wear it? Well, a little puppy snatched it away.”
Jonathan played along and said, “Really? Which puppy are you talking about?”
Teresa teased, “A little pup.”
Jonathan asked, “Is he younger than me?”
“He’s ten times younger than you,” Teresa replied.
Hearing this, Jonathan chuckled softly again, taking her words as nothing more than playful banter.
Jonathan pretended to be stern and said, “Then I’ll have to call the police. After all, that necklace is worth more than 250 thousand dollars. We’ll have to arrest that puppy.”
Teresa cleared her throat and said, “It’s getting late. If that’s all, I’ll hang up now.”
