The story features a young boy named Adam who is introduced to his mother's new boyfriend, David. Adam is skeptical and confronts David, making it clear that he doesn't trust him and believes his mother is only dating him for his wealth. 

While playing video games together, David tries to bond with Adam by joking about the games and sharing a bit of his past, but Adam remains distant and defensive. David admits he isn’t rich, which surprises Adam and creates a moment of honesty between them. 

This sets up a dynamic where both characters have to navigate their relationship, highlighting themes of trust, family dynamics, and the assumptions people make based on appearances. Adam's skepticism is a protective instinct, while David’s attempt to connect shows his desire to build a relationship with both Adam and his mother.
