Summary
The birthday gift I gave my husband was found in a doghouse by the side of the road. I spent the next five years as the butt of all jokes made by Cascade City's high society wives.
Every year when Julian Carter's birthday came around, they would bring it up again, teasing that the gift I bought him was surely the most expensive one of all.
"That's nouveau riche taste for you. She thinks the more expensive it is, the better."
"Yeah, but I wonder where they'll find it this year. Another doghouse, maybe?"
