Sean said decisively.

His voice was firm and I couldn’t refuse.

I looked at the ugly brown paper bag and was a little upset.

I didn’t speak, and he said, “take a picture of it as soon as you hang up. I want it. I don’t want anything else.”

His words made me a little confused. I looked at the bag and squinted, “do you know what I bought for you?”

“No.” Sean denied, but he said, “I like anything you buy, so you don’t need to buy anything else.”

OK.

But Sean didn’t lack anything.

I reached out and touched the bag and nodded, “OK, I see.”

“Since you’re going to make it up to me, I can choose the place, right?”

“Huh?”

“I’ll send you the time and place in a few days.”

Sean said.

“OK.”

I promised decisively.
