Did you receive my gift?" Dora's voice chirped through the phone, pulling Cai's attention from his 'gift'—who had darted inside as if she still thought he was a bear ready to pounce.
He stifled a laugh, glancing at Lily's retreating form. "Oh, it's... interesting. Is this why you had me shipped out here?"
"Uh huh! You've been sulking for weeks now. I thought you'd snap out of it, but after you tried to name the baby 'Lily', I knew it was serious. So, I figured you'd need something bigger—like this gift. You're welcome!"
"I don't think she is quite happy with the stunt you've pulled."
He snorted. "I don't think she's too thrilled with your little stunt, by the way."
Dora laughed, the kind of laugh that said she wasn't remotely sorry. "Of course she isn't. I'll have a word with her in a minute. But let me make one thing crystal clear—if you mess this up and hurt her, I swear, you'll be stuck in the wilderness with no Wi-Fi forever. And you know what that means."
