"What are we going to do about this elaborate lie you've been telling?" The principal asks with an accusing scowl.

      "Excuse me, what do you think I've been doing? Bringing a kidnapped child to school?" Bang Chan asks irritatingly.

      "...How am I supposed to know what goes on behind the doors of parents? If you're lying about being her father, there has to be a reason."

      Olivia frowns, tugging at Bang Chan's pant leg.

      "Dad, what's going on?" Olivia asks.

      "The reason he's lying is judgmental assholes like you."

      "I'm only looking out for my school." the principal states.

      "Aren't there actual emergencies that need attention?" I ask.

      "Chris, what's the truth here? Who's Olivia's mother?"

      Bang Chan opens his mouth to speak, clearly unsure if he should stick to his old story or not.

      "I'm her mother." I blurt out.

      "What?" the principal asks in confusion.

      "Bang Chan and I hooked up a long time ago. And he agreed to raise her while I got my shit together."

      "Ha! You're all such liars." Marjorie blurts out.

      "Nah, she's my mom. Yes, sir.!" Olivia protest.

      The principal looks from me to Olivia to Bang Chan.

      "Well, you do make a beautiful family. Marjorie does have a way of causing trouble."

      "I do not!" Marjorie glares at the principal.

      "You're worse than Leon at school, and he eats crayons like, all day." Olivia says.

      "I'm sorry for prying. And welcome back, (Y/N). I'm sure your daughter appreciates having you around."

      Once we drop Olivia off at Katie's for the night, we return to my house, hoping to get some work down with Bang Chan.

      "Personally, I'm game for Janet's idea." Bang Chan tells me with a sigh.

      "Which one?"

      "Egging Marjorie's house."

      "That is tempting."

      "Just say the words. I'll drive."

      I return to work, a bit more aggressive than usual.

      "I just wish I could take my mind off of her for even 10 seconds."

      "Anything I can do to help?"

      "Save me from the Big, Bad Marjorie?"

      "That one may have to be a team effort. But...that does give me another idea."

      Bang Chan reaches into his bag and pulls out another familiar looking book called Waves of Lust.

      "I borrowed it from the confiscated books... It's...illegal... So...maybe I can save you in a different way?"

      "Well... I am itching for a swim."

      I look inside the bag Bang Chan hands me and see an outfit to go with the book. I quickly run to the bathroom to change while Bang Chan heads out to the lake in the back.
