You were driving home after a long shopping trip when your phone suddenly rang. Without taking your eyes off the road, you answered through the car’s Bluetooth.

“Heyyy, baby. What’s up?” you greeted cheerfully.

“Where are you?” came your husband’s deep voice.

“Um… on my way home?” you replied, slightly confused.

“Where were you?”

“At the mall. Shopping.”

“Who were you with?”

You frowned. “Oh my God, baby. You don’t trust me or what? Why are you acting so suspicious?”

There was a brief silence.

Then suddenly, your eyes widened as realization struck you.

“Oh my GOD, BABY!”

Elio went quiet.

“I FORGOT YOU AT THE MALL!”

You gasped, almost unable to believe your own mistake.

“Gosh, baby! Wait there! I’m turning back! Don’t go anywhere!”

Before he could even respond, you ended the call and immediately took the next turn back towards the shopping mall.

Meanwhile, Elio sat on the bench outside the mall entrance, still holding his phone.

He slowly lowered it and rubbed his temple.

“Unbelievable…” he muttered.

His shopping bags sat neatly beside him. His wife had apparently collected everything she wanted, gotten into her car, and driven home without remembering that she had arrived with her husband.

He sighed, checking his watch.

“God, what did I marry?”
