“What?” Cap asked.
“I can tell my shit,” Roam said.
“Your shit is tied to our shit,” Moses retorted.
“Oh for fuck’s sake,” Tex boomed. “Roam is joining the Phoenix team, and Shirleen and Moses are moving down. So are Nance and me.”
“Oh my God!” I screeched, jumping out of the loveseat Luna and I were wedged into with Scott.
I was so happy about this for Cap (and me), I was not embarrassed I did a girlie cheerleader jump (I would have done splits if I wasn’t in a cute, faux leather mini-skirt, cowl neck sweater and booties—totally had a fall/winter wardrobe—also if I could do the splits, which I couldn’t).
Cap was grinning at Roam.
That just made me happier.
I hugged Moses first, Roam next and Tex last.
Only for Tex to boom, “What’d I say about hugs?”
I jumped away from him and retorted, “Suck it up, big man. This is cause for celebration.”
“Tell me you did not tell my son we’re moving to Phoenix without me being there,” Shirleen demanded from where she was standing in the door.
“We didn’t, Tex did.” Roam threw Tex under the bus.
Tex reached forward, grabbed some party mix, tossed it in his mouth, and with that only partially chewed, he said, “Don’t know what the big secret is.”
“I have no idea how one of us hasn’t whacked you yet,” Shirleen replied.
I ran to Shirleen and gave her a hug.
She lost her tiff and hugged me back.
When I moved away, she said, “You’re gonna have to help us find a house.”
“Scottsdale, you’re totally Scottsdale,” I decreed.
“Nope, Arcadia,” Luna corrected.
I turned to her. “You think? That’s populated with entitled moms wearing Lululemon all day.”
“Oh, right, scratch Arcadia. Then totes Scottsdale. Though, maybe Paradise Valley. Or possibly Biltmore.”
“We’ll figure it out,” Shirleen said, then wandered in the kitchen.
I twirled, lunged forward and did a devil’s horns.
Luna had her phone out, mumbling, “I’m pulling up Zillow.”
All the men smiled at me.
Including Cap, but he also ordered, “Get over here.”
I went over there, and he pulled me in his lap and wrapped his arms around me.
Oh yeah.
Per usual.
