Mia nudged her husband Andre's arm. "Hush, we're in this together. Don't let your old man hear. The money I swindle, isn't it still ours?"

Andre laughed. "I told you to swindle less, not to stop entirely. If you take too much at once, he'll get suspicious."

Molly just thought astrology and fortune-telling was fun but nothing serious. Two days later, she had a surprising encounter at the entrance of her office that made her truly appreciate the wonders of the universe.

Jack was standing there holding a huge bouquet of roses for her!

The bad apple! It arrived!

"Molly, just finished work?"

Molly said, "No, just taking a breather."

Molly already finished her work, but she turned to head back into the office.

Quick as a flash, Jack blocked her path. "Molly, these are for you," said Jack, extending the roses towards her.

Jack didn't seem offended by her question. Instead, he explained, "Molly, my family has been going through some difficult times recently, and I didn't want to burden you with it. I just stayed away. Now, everything is back to normal. I can confidently pursue you." He offered the roses again, but Molly was firm in her refusal. "I've already said no. This is harassment."

Unfazed by Molly's reaction, Jack said, "Then consider this harassment, Molly. I like you. From the moment I saw you, I was amazed. I can't forget how good you looked in pink the first time we met..."
