Mia chuckled softly as she gently patted her son's bottom. "He's out like a light. Let's scoop him up and head home. Remember, you promised him an outing this afternoon. Don't think you can get away with him being too young to remember. A promise is a promise." Andre smirked, knowing full well the subtle hints behind those words. "Alright, I'll take my son and his mom out for a fun day."

Around noon, Anya was about to exit the freeway when her phone buzzed with a call from Molly. Molly's voice sounded groggy and weak. "Hey, Anya, have you left yet?"

Anya responded, "Auntie, I'm almost off the freeway. Did you just wake up?"

Molly rubbed her eyes, rolling over in bed to take in the dimly lit room. She threw off the covers, half-naked, and glanced at the clock on her nightstand. "It's already noon! I meant to see you off, but I overslept. Sorry, Anya."

"It's no big deal, Auntie. Get up and have some lunch. We'll see each other again after the summer break."

Molly sat up in bed, still closing her eyes. "Okay, let me know when you get home."

After hanging up, Molly, clutching the blanket to cover herself, lightly smacked the man beside her. "You promised to wake me up at six, and now it's noon!"

Officer Chad replied, "I did try to wake you. You just didn't budge."

"That's impossible. I don't remember any of it."

Knowing his wife could be stubborn, Chad pulled out his phone and showed her a video. "I started trying to wake you at 5:40 AM and kept at it until 6:30 AM. I recorded three videos. See for yourself."

The video began with Chad cradling her, softly saying, "Molly, time to get up."

"Mm-hmm."

"Come on, wake up. Weren't you supposed to see Anya off?"

Annoyed, Molly covered herself with the blanket, but Chad soon lifted her out again, continuing to gently coax her.

In the end, she didn't stir, not even opening her eyes.

"Molly, call me 'husband"."

"Mm-hmm."

"Say 'husband', and I'll let you sleep."
