They fled in fear for their lives, going for a ride in the car for 30 minutes, then returned after the laptop was stowed, the dishwasher emptied and the long-ago dried laundry folded.
Somehow it escaped them that they could have actually been helpful around here rather than ridicule me.
No matter. Revenge will be mine.
You see, Catherine says that I can be HER for Halloween.
Payback is a … well, you know.
