As soon as Thaddeus learned what happened in the weight room, he insisted Theo stay home from school the following day. Normally, Theo would complain about such an unnecessary inconvenience.

It’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. Or next Tuesday. Could be a month from now—those delivery dates are meaningless.
