“Will you wear anything I buy?” she inquired.
Carlos raised his head from the catalog. Although Debbie tried to look calm, her eyes betrayed her. To the mischievous Look in her eyes, he sighed.
“Yes, I will,” he agreed.

Bummer. His response was like a wet blanket. It was the red briefs that she was considering buying him. With her plan ruined, Debbie pouted sullenly.
“OK, I got it,” she said.
