“Stanley, what are you doing?” Gloria asked when she saw Stanley texting someone with his head lowered.

“Why is Stanley so absentminded? First, he was busy daydreaming and now he’s looking at his phone. Is something bothering him?’ Gloria wondered.

“Mom, I need to go out for a while. There’s something I need to take care of,”
