Everyone had clips on their noses. They breathed through their mouths as the maids served the fruit Keith had brought from Maui. Apparently, the car that drove in carried Keith’s surprise.

Evan especially pinched his nose stronger before saying, “Durian. Your special surprise for us is Durian?”

Keith pointed to Shantelle, saying, “Shanty loves durian. She and Karise had a durian feast during her residency in Warlington.”

Evan’s friends, including Karise and James, were in front of the long table on the patio, ready to eat the exotic fruit. Keith had challenged everyone to have a taste and get five hundred dollars as a reward. Lucas, James, and Sean were instantly drawn to the idea. Wendell participated in the challenge itself.

Evan was ready to throw away the durian, hating the smell, but Shantelle said, “Surprisingly, I’m not at all disgusted by the smell!”

“Me too, Mommy! It’s not bad for me,” Lucas eagerly said.

Shantelle knew how smelly the exotic fruit was. Still, she always had a great experience eating durian; she was willing to test the waters with her pregnant nose. To her surprise, the fruit’s smell comforted her. She happily declared, “So fruity and sweet!”

Everyone watched as Shantelle took the first bite, Karise and Lucas followed. Keith took the next bite, and Sean had a taste. In the end, despite having clips on their noses, they all agreed that durian tasted terrific! Only Evan remained unconvinced and did not have a single bite.

Hours later.

“Shanty? Where are you?” Evan called as he walked down the stairs at night. The couple had already rested in bed, but after only an hour of sleeping, Evan noticed that Shantelle was missing.

“Here!” Shantelle yelled from the kitchen. “Evan? Have you seen the durian I kept in the fridge? I can’t find it! I’m getting frustrated!”

Evan grimaced as he walked into the kitchen. He scratched his head and admitted, “Wifey? The durian? Haven’t you had enough?”

“No, I want more!” Shantelle said. “I can’t stop thinking about it. I think it’s my new craving – your babies’ craving!”
