The Art of Deception
I laughed again, feeling a sense of joy and silliness that I hadn't experienced in a long time.
Just then, Derek's phone suddenly went off, blasting a loud and ridiculous ringtone.
Derek's face turned bright red as he frantically tried to silence the phone, but not before the ringtone had echoed across the room several times.
I was laughing so hard I was crying, my sides aching from the effort of trying to contain my giggles.
"Oh my god, what is that ringtone?" I exclaimed, still laughing.
Derek looked sheepish, his face still bright red. "I may have set it to 'Who Let the Dogs Out' by accident," he admitted, chuckling.
