“That’s not what I meant.”
“I know what you meant and the answer is I don’t know. I kind of just became a full-time caregiver and, oh shit, I forgot to tell Laura an emergency popped up and I won’t make it in for my shift. Fuck.”
“It’s been taken care of,” he said.
I rubbed the back of my neck. “Of course it has. This is what happens when your entire life is wrapped up with the Blue Angels.”
“The club fronted Laura the money for Leather and Ink. She gets club money; she gets club life. That’s the way it works.”
“She’s the best boss,” I said. “Super understanding, what with who I run around with.”
“Back to my question,” he said.
“I don’t know.” I put my hand to his chest.
He covered my hand with his and sighed. “Call me when you need help with the IKEA stuff.”
“You promise to read the manual?”
“I promise to pretend to read the manual.”
I smiled and leaned in to kiss his cheek. “Thanks.”
“We’ll bring the pizza and beer.”
I reluctantly dropped my hand. I would’ve liked to stay in that moment for a while longer, but my sister was upstairs, along with everyone else.
“Has Savage’s lady of the night left?”
“As far as I know they haven’t even come out of his bedroom yet.”
“That poor girl,” I said with a laugh. “She’ll be ruined, you know.”
“You think so?” he asked.
I started folding clothes and putting them back in the bags. “Definitely. I heard the noises coming from his room. Ruined for all others. I’m sure of it.”
“What about you?” he asked.
“What about me what?”
“Did I ruin you for all others?”
“Hey, can wepleasego!” Waverly asked as she traipsed down the stairs. “I have to call Dylan and I’d like to do it in private.”
“Who said you’re going to be talking to Dylan?” I demanded.
Waverly’s eyes widened and her lips began to quiver. “My mother abandoned me.”
“Okay, but you can’t play that card again for the next six months,” I stated.
Her face straightened immediately and she saluted me.
“Shit, one problem,” I said. “I just realized I don’t have my car.”
Duke removed a set of keys from his leather cut and handed them to me. “Gotta love prospects.”
“How do I get that kind of power?” Waverly asked.
