“Fine!”

Stefan’s renowned haughtiness finally gave way to Renee’s gentle persuasions. He turned the steering wheel with one hand while he tousled her hair with the other. “For the sake of my angelic wife, I won’t stoop to their level today.”

And so, they agreed to part ways—Stefan drove away and headed towards the open-air parking lot less than half a mile away, while Renee got out of the car and queued up in front of the kindergarten gate and waited her turn to pick up her kids. Once the kids were with her, Stefan drove back to the kindergarten, and they would meet up again.

‘Oh boy,’ she thought, instantly worried, ‘what did the two rascals do this time?’

But no matter how anxious she was, she still patiently waited in line for her turn.
