Avdiciro pulls into the driveway and notices a white car he's never seen before parked outside his girlfriend's house along the front sidewalk. He parks his car in front of her garage and looks around to see if anyone might be lurking around the area but the neighborhood is quiet this Saturday morning. He removes his keys and gets out of his car, fixing his tie in the reflection in the car window before heading to the garage door. He hopes Morgan, his girlfriend, is ready to go by now.

This ex-boyfriend is more than a little pudgy and doesn't exactly make a decent living. After all, Avdiciro has already spoiled Morgan with enough for her to know that he's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of companion, one that she'd be crazy to give up.
