I was still staring at Fernando when he grabbed the piles of dollar bills and tossed them into the fireplace like they were garbage. I still couldn't figure out what was going on when he squatted close to the fireplace and grabbed only a single dollar bill. Fernando takes out a lighter that had been lying besides the fireplace. He lit the dollar bill right in front of my eyes, and I was completely taken aback. After lighting the dollar bill, he threw it towards the fireplace, causing the rest of the bill to light up. Soon, the room became extremely warm, and I craved being so close to the fireplace. Fernando pushed the chair I'm currently sitting in closer to the fireplace, as if he could read my mind. He dashed out of the room, returning with a large blanket that he used to keep me
