My Husband and His Doll
Calvin hadn't bothered to change the combination, so it remained at factory default: 0000.
I turned the lock combination and heard a click. The lock opened.
The silicone doll sat quietly inside the cabinet, wearing her usual smirk. I pulled out a small, silver device from the pocket of my pajamas. I'd fished it out of Dorothy's backpack during the day while she was in the bathroom.
At the time, she'd left her backpack on the living room couch. She hadn't even bothered to zip it up.
I'd pretended to look for a charging cable and reached into the backpack, only to find the device that was barely bigger than a thumb drive.
