The shopping afternoon turned out to be excellent therapy, as Samantha made sure Deborah bought everything: from a doll she had always wanted as a child to high–end clothes that caught her eye.
Samantha was thrilled to see Deborah enjoying herself. She was just like Jayden, getting more excited about buying the toys she had once wished for than the clothes and accessories.
Deborah almost perfectly followed the rule of only thinking about herself, but in the end, she bought gifts for her companions and found something special to bring back to the rest of her family.
They finished shopping just as the sun was setting, so they decided to head home to have dinner with the family.
“Jayden, your mom just texted me–they’re on their way home for dinner.”
“Yay, did you hear that, James? Mommy’s almost here.
James happily waved his hands, mimicking his dad’s excitement.
Just then, they heard the car pulling up, so they went outside to greet them.
As they opened the door, they saw Danielle and Max entering first, carrying all of Deborah’s shopping bags.
“Whoa… what’s all this?” Jayden asked, seeing the large number of bags and boxes they were placing in the living room.
James waved excitedly at the sight of the colorful items being brought into the house.
“Did you go shopping or rob the stores?” Eric asked with a laugh.
“Well, it was a bit of both,” Samantha said, walking over to kiss her husband.
“Well, we’re heading out. Have a great night,” the siblings said as they left.
“Rest well,” Jayden said, bidding them goodbye.
“Looks like the therapy worked… or are some of those your purchases too?” Eric asked with a smile, as his wife sometimes went on shopping sprees like that.
“It worked! Just look at the new Deborah,” Samantha said playfully, pointing toward the entrance.
Jayden turned to where his mother was pointing and heard the sound of heels clicking on the floor. A moment later, a stunning Deborah entered, wearing a new formal outfit with a long black blazer and loose
black trousers.
Jayden was stunned by how different and confident Deborah looked.
“Wow… now I understand what they mean when they say clothes make the person,” Jayden said flirtatiously. “Grr… you look so sexy, my love. Right, James?”
The little one was excited to see his mom and reached out for a hug.
“Aww… someone missed me,” Deborah said, hugging her chubby boy and kissing him on the cheek.

“We both missed you a lot,” Jayden added, joining the hug.
“So, do I look good?”
“You look radiant,” he said in a flirty tone, kissing her.
“And wait until you see what I have

“Grr…” Jayden growled playfully with a flirty smile, clearly excited for what promised to be a happy night.
“Debbie, you look wonderful,” Eric said.
“Thank you! And I actually bought something for everyone,” Deborah said, turning to search through her purchases. “Ta–da! This is for you,” she declared, handing him a blue bag.
“Oh, you didn’t have to, but let’s see…” Eric began, opening the bag and pulling out the contents. “Oh…” look at this awesome t–shirt,” he said, showing off the shirt, which read: Proud Grandpa.
“That’s great, Dad.”
“And it matches mine,” Samantha declared, showing off her shirt, which read: Proud Grandma.
“And it goes with this,” Deborah added, pulling out a tiny shirt that read: I’m the Spoiled Grandson of My Grandparents.
“Now I’m feeling jealous. What about me?” Jayden asked, crossing his arms and pouting.
“You don’t have to be, love, because you have two gifts,” Deborah said, turning to hand him a gift bag.
“Yes!” Jayden exclaimed happily as he opened the gift bag and found a box of building blocks and his own shirt that read: I’m the #1 Dad. “I love it! And… wow, wait, is this the new set?”
“Uh–huh,” Deborah confirmed.
“Woo–hoo! Thank you so much, my love,” he said, leaning in to kiss her on the lips.
James was happy, sensing the closeness of his parents.
“And of course, I got something for my sweet boy too,” Deborah said, handing her son a small box.
“Let’s see…” Jayden helped him open it, revealing a set of soft rattles. “Oh… look, son.”
“They’re perfect for him because soon his gums will start itching, and he’ll be eager to chew on everything,” Deborah explained.
“That’s right.”
“Dinner is ready, sir,” one of the servants announced. “Wow… ma’am, you look stunning.”
Thank you. Please take the bags to our room.”
“Certainly.”
“Let’s go eat, and you can tell us all about the shopping,” Eric said, taking his wife’s hand.
They headed to the dining room for dinner, where Deborah and Samantha began sharing stories about
