What kind of logic is this? She turned around only after five seconds.
“This water is too hot. I want it to be lukewarm. He deliberately made things difficult for her.

When Shirlene saw Melinda, her eyebrows furrowed. Why is it her again? She was on the news
yesterday. Mrs. For…
“Let’s go, Dad,” She quickly snapped out of her thoughts and supported her father before walking
