In walked our tenant, Gary, who was apparently still slaving away as a personal assistant to Damien in lieu of paying rent. The third hour brought the biggest surprise of all. Monica had refused the pizza but ended up devouring the strawberries. She’ll claim to be too upset to eat, but she’s never seen a chocolate-covered strawberry she could refuse.
