Jeremy propped his chin up, a faint smile curling at his lips. He deliberately dragged out his response, “Well, I suppose I could let you off the hook…”

Yvonne, oblivious to the teasing tone in his voice, focused intently on him like a curious kitten, ears perked, waiting anxiously for his answer.

Jeremy, fighting back a chuckle, continued, “How about…”

“Not making Yvonne try them on anymore!” Yvonne blurted, finishing his sentence for him, her face filled with anticipation as she looked up at him.

Jeremy could no longer hold back a smile. He reluctantly tore his gaze away from her adorable face, his eyes shifting to the brand representatives in the living room, all wearing smiles that could rival those of proud aunts.

The representatives faces lit up, clearly pleased.

“Jeremy…” she said, her voice full of panic.

“Alright, alright, Jeremy said, trying to calm her down. “We’ll donate anything we don’t wear. Nothing will go to waste.”

He lifted Yvonne in his arms, then waved to the representatives, signaling that they could leave. Once the room cleared, Jeremy finally put Yvonne down.
