“What are you babbling about? I’ve had no work done!” Mrs. Evert clutched her face, which was as taut as a Thanksgiving balloon, red with embarrassment and seething with guilt.

Arnold tapped his cheek thoughtfully, turning his gaze to Camille with a look of mock seriousness. “Ms. Camille, she’s asking what I am to you.”

Camille looked at him, her heart pounding a wild rhythm.

Without her response, Arnold’s eyes crinkled with a knowing smile. “If you’re not speaking up, then I guess I’m your boyfriend by default.”

“What?” Both Mrs. Evert and daughter’s jaws dropped in disbelief.
