"Janet!" said April while quickly approaching her house. "How are you feeling?"
Janet and her husband, Jared, sat around their porch table while sipping lemonade.
Jared raised his glass toward April and smiled as she climbed the steps.
"Oh, hi, April. I'm just fine. As you can see," Janet pointed at him, "it worked!"
"That's amazing!" April intensely gazed at him. "All paid for?"
"Oh yes, thankfully," Janet glanced back at April shaking her head slightly, "we had the Chip Life Insurance policy. Would you like some freshly squeezed lemonade?"
"Yes, please, thank you."
Janet poured some lemonade into a clean glass from a pitcher.
"So, my husband and I were thinking of getting the insurance as well." April sipped her lemonade. "Does he seem the same?"
"Identical." Janet winked at him. "I mean, even better. To reduce the cost, they restored his body, and The Chip stored all his life's memories to mimic his personality, but …" She blushed.
"But what?" April placed her lemonade on the table. "Tell me, Janet!"
"Well, since it takes over his brain," Janet whispered, "I paid a hacker to make some modifications. Check this out."
"Jared, honey …" Janet stood up.
"Yes, dear?" Jared swirled his lemonade glass.
"April and I are going clothes shopping. We might spend over 5,000 dollars."
April gasped. "Janet!"
"Oh, that's fine, dear." Jared smiled. "I'll just put in some overtime at work."
