Meet Rowlock Holmes: A Puzzle

Going out of his boat, legendary angler and detective Rowlock Holmes heard a loud [exclamation]. “You’ve finally made it!” It was Mr. Billy Bellyboat, Holmes’s long-time fishing partner and friend. He invited Holmes to support him at an annual fishing contest—the Big Bass Catching Cup. “I’m all set for tomorrow! My super effective, super secret bait is bound to catch me a winner once again!” Billy confidently insisted. “But there’s just something fishy going on lately…” “There sure is.” Holmes replied as he took off his boot and shook out a live guppy.
Billy continued and told Holmes about his wife he has been with for twenty years now. “She suddenly keeps on asking non-stop about where my secret bait is—like that nosy Sarah Zpook! She’s been out to get the golden trophy from me after being second for all these years.” Holmes thought for a moment and said, “Then, I have the perfect plan to find out just that.”
The following morning, Mr. Bellyboat took his wife out on a date in the middle of the lake. “Oh, Billykins, how romantic of you!” his wife sang out. Milliseconds after, she added, “Now, will you tell me about the secret bait?” But Mr. Bellyboat didn’t reply. He suddenly pointed out to the sunrise that was coming out and said, “This reminds me of our trip to the Caspian Sea on our past silver anniversary.” His wife nodded, “I remember like it was yesterday. Indeed, that sight was lovely.”
On their way back to shore, she insisted for the gazillionth time, “It seems to be a nice time to tell me where the secret bait is. Don’t you think so, Billykins?” Mr. Bellyboat finally gave in. “Sure, but, there’s just one thing…I’m not your Billykins!” Rowlock Holmes took off his disguise and cried out, “And apparently, you’re an imposter as well!” He cleverly unmasked the woman, who turned out to be Sarah Zpook.
Holmes said, “You could’ve gotten away as Billy’s wife and finally steal his super secret bait. But, you made a mistake that she would never have done!”
WHAT DID SARAH DO THAT GAVE HER AWAY?

This Day was an Epic Summer Day

But that was today last year, not this time.
Right now, I'm up real late only because I've got two big tests and a major speech on Monday to prepare for. My summer doesn't start 'til the middle of April, and it'll only last for just one month. <insert O_O>
One month, instead of the usual three...

But I still got my reasons to be all smiles.
And it's not just because I already got my braces off.
Funky teeth no more.
I'm happy because finally, I'm putting that "Where attention goes, energy flows" quote into action. It does do wonders if you focus on the good side. But if I concentrate on making that coming one month the shortest but awesome-st, epic-est summer ever, I wonder if I have enough energy to make that happen.And it's not just because I already got my braces off.
