My usually well-behaved son, Sirius Cooper, suddenly kicked up a fuss, insisting on going to Bluehaven Island to see the ocean. If I didn't give in, he'd throw a tantrum. Left with no other option, I took Sirius there myself, while his dad, Andrew Cooper, stayed back in the studio, busy working on his paintings. After staying there for about ten days, I was dead tired, but Sirius still wasn't ready to leave; he kept begging to stay a little longer. I had already taken too much time off work, and my project team was urging me to return. So I went ahead and booked a boat ticket for the next morning, deciding it was time to head back home. But what I never expected was to overhear Sirius whispering into his game console late at night. He said, "Dad, has Ms. Lane calmed down? Mom and I must return tomorrow. I can't stall any longer. Hurry, pack up Ms. Lane's things and get them out of the house. Make sure Mom doesn't notice."
