Did you receive my gift?" Dora's voice chirped through the phone, pulling Cai's attention from his 'gift'—who had darted inside as if she still thought he was a bear ready to pounce.
He stifled a laugh, glancing at Lily's retreating form. "Oh, it's... interesting. Is this why you had me shipped out here?"
"Uh huh! You've been sulking for weeks now. I thought you'd snap out of it, but after you tried to name the baby 'Lily', I knew it was serious. So, I figured you'd need something bigger—like this gift. You're welcome!"
"I don't think she is quite happy with the stunt you've pulled."
He snorted. "I don't think she's too thrilled with your little stunt, by the way."
