That Person Is Dave!

Melanda, who had returned home, had been thinking about this too.

Selina was so annoying. Why was she everywhere?! And what was with Dave? She wondered how Mandy and Dave were doing.

Melanda was a little distraught.

Soon, it was time for school to end. She picked Millie up from the school bus, prepared dinner for her, and watched the cartoon she liked with her for a while.

While they were watching cartoons, Mike returned.

Millie immediately ignored Melanda and clung to Mike. That made sense. Mike had been leaving early and returning late these days. Neither father nor daughter had time to be alone.

Mike went to wash up with Millie and then went to bed to tell a story.

Melanda was in the kitchen cleaning up when her phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Melanda picked it up. "Hello!"

The voice sounded familiar. "Hello, Melanda. I'm Jeffrey. Do you remember me?"

"Jeffrey?" The name sounded familiar.
