“We’re done eating breakfast. What other excuses do you have now?” Gloria questioned Stanley with a dour look on her face.

After narrating the entire story to Gloria and Daniel, Stanley felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders at an instant. Now that he had finally gotten it out of his chest, the family would no longer pester him about Cherry anymore.

“So, your relationship with Cherry has all been an act?” Gloria choked.

“Yes.” Stanley nodded and apologized. “I’m sorry. I’m afraid I’ve let you down.”

“But, how are you going to explain this to the Jean family, then?” Gloria asked, becoming worried sick.

She always thought that Stanley was a well-behaved child. The fact that he would engage in something so questionable was something Gloria could not comprehend.
