“Thanks. You better get going. Take a shower and change into some clean clothes.”

I called out to Neil as we reached the car.

His expression was apathetic, seemingly unbothered by his soaked state at the time. Faith insisted on him getting a taste of hardship, and there was nothing I could have done about it.

Upon arriving home, my mom noticed the doll and asked, “Did you buy this for Serena?”

I hesitated for a moment, then gave a small nod, “Yeah.”

Norah seemed taken aback and looked like she wanted to say something, but I shot her a warning look. She was a smart woman. She knew better than to speak

“Well, it was just a little gift that came with a clothing purchase. There was only one. I’ll get something for Brandon later.” I came up with an excuse on the spot. If my parents knew the doll was from Neil, they would have probably thrown it away immediately.
