Randy, setting the tes down, remarked with a yful pout, "Man, when will you ever be this considerate toward me?"

Randy said. incredulously. "Feelings areplicated. Maybe Debra is going to finalize things with Juan," Erica said thoughtfully.
"If Juan doesn''t sign the divorce papers, Debra won''t be able to get a divorce. After all, he''s Juan, not some random guy off the street," Randy said, clicking his tongue.
