Zip flashed us a grin. “He got a clean bill of health again today from the oncologist. He is still cancer free.”
There was a loud cheer, and then Nash laughed.
“Speaking of great news,” Simi said as she sat down on the couch next to Nash. “Coffey has some great news as well.”
“Tell us,” Val urged.
“He’s getting a Michelin Star!”
“Holy shit!” Autry crowed. “Brother, that’s fucking awesome!”
Coffey’s cheeks pinked. “It’s not a done deal…”
“It’s a done freakin’ deal,” Simi interrupted. “The rest is all paperwork. He’s won it.”
“Well, since we’re sharing great news,” Tony said from her perch on the couch. “Slone was inducted into the hall of fame. They’re officially retiring his jersey number.”
More cheers.
“That’s freakin’ fantastic, man,” I said slapping Slone on the back as I walked toward the single chair that was open next to Crimson.
“Anybody else?” Hades asked.
“Felix is getting an award next month for Doctor of the Year for Dallas Medical,” Val chirped.
Felix sighed. “It’s not that big of a deal, babe.”
“It’s a big deal,” Val disagreed.
“Agreed,” we all confirmed.
“You know,” Quinn grumbled. “You all are a bunch of overachievers. How the hell can normal people compare?”
Ande flicked him on the ear. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t you just get some huge accolade from the department for saving a child’s life?”
Quinn grumbled something under his breath, causing Shayne to snort.
“Shut up,” Quinn said to her.
Shayne flipped him off. “Make me.”
“Children,” Germaine said. “For the love of all that’s holy, can’t y’all just act like normal people every once in a while?”
That had me snorting. “That’s where you’re mistaken, Ger. None of us are normal. And we probably never will be.”
Ande flicked a few olives from her salad onto my plate as she passed, then took up a seat on the floor next to Hannibal’s feet.
He scooted over, causing Coco to hiss at him.
Coco, the white tiger, that now lived in a house full of children.
Melon, who was somewhere outside enjoying the cool night breeze for once, echoed her grumble.
“Hey, speaking of cats…” Folsom said. “How would y’all feel about more? I have a friend who knows someone who just got caught illegally farming exotic pets.”
All the ladies perked up. “Oh?”
I groaned. “No more cats!”
