The next day.
Heller came to the Lincolns' early in the morning and rang the doorbell.
Howard got out of bed in a daze and opened the door. He snapped in displeasure, "Who's disturbing my sleep so early in the morning?!"
A smiling Heller said, "I'm Heller Nicholson. You probably don't know me, but you'll definitely have heard of me! I'm here to ask for Ruby's hand in marriage!"
Howard said impatiently, "I've definitely heard of you? Are you some kind of hotshot? I don't know any Heller or Heavener… Huh?"
Halfway, Howard's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed, "Who did you say you were?!"
Heller replied calmly, "I'm Heller Nicholson!"
As though he had just seen a ghost, Howard said shrilly, "H-Heller Nicholson?!?!"
Right after he said that, Howard slammed the door shut with a loud bang. His forehead was covered in a cold sweat and he looked frightened. He said, "W-wait a moment!"
