She sounded proud as she continued, “I sent her the wine you left last time.

Can you guess if she can tell?”

Seth paused.

She grinned, thinking she had finally struck a chord with him. So, she couldn’t

resist taunting him.

Suddenly, he spoke, “If you really have nothing to do, just find a class to

attend. At least you’ll be doing something productive with your time.”
