Tanners are very particular with customs and etiquette. We should move in well in advance to avoid
being late.”
Cherise pursed her lips and nodded, her mind gravitating toward Mandy’s predicament. “What are we
going to do about Mandy? We can’t just let her suffer any longer.”
Ever the reassuring presence, Damien consoled her while affectionately stroking her head. “Don’t fret.
I’ve already arranged for the chips extracted from her to be securely stored. When she was at Sequoia,

He sighed, his voice heavy with concern. “Jacob will look after her until our return.”
Cherise nodded, feeling relieved that Mandy would be left in capable hands. “How long will we be
away?”
“A week,” Damien answered, sealing his response with a tender kiss upon her lips. “We will return after
the birthday banquet. So, we must persuade the Tanners to provide us with the method to deactivate
the chip in Mandy’s brain within the week.”
Cherise bit her lip and nodded resolutely. “Let’s give it our all?”
“Wholeheartedly,” Damien confirmed. He playfully pinched her cheek and asked, “Do you find me

Cherise shook her head fervently. “No, you’re wonderful. You are the finest person I’ve
ever met.”
Damien smiled, affectionately ruffling her hair. “Then I will strive to be the best.”
Cherise nodded, embracing his neck and planting a steadfast kiss on his cheek. “My
husband is the best!”

Unfortunately, she found herself in need of another week and three days of leave soon after.
Her tutor, accustomed to her frequent absences, addressed her sternly. “Ms. Shaw, consider this your
final reminder! When you return after this ten-day vacation, you’ll be
on the brink of your final exams! Last semester, you had straight A’s in all your subjects. If your grades
slip this semester, there’ll be no mercy from me!”
Cherise offered her tutor an apologetic smile and replied, “I completely understand.”
Her tutor maintained a firm stance, emphasizing the importance of action. “It’s not enough to merely
understand. What truly counts is taking action!”
With a stern look, the tutor continued, “Make sure to bring your textbooks, and don’t neglect your

Cherise nodded earnestly, committing these instructions to memory. As she packed her luggage at
home, she dutifully placed her textbooks in her suitcase.
