She frowns. “I don’t know cars very well, T.”

“It’s a Mercedes.” I pull up a picture on my phone and hand it to her.

“Sweet. You buying one?”

“Thinkin’ about it.”

“I don’t know, I always kinda saw you as a Hummer guy.”

I shake my head. “Happy with my truck.”

“So, it’s not for you?”

Great. Now she’s gonna pester me about this all morning.

“Said I was thinkin’ about it.”

“Wait.” She holds up a finger. “Didn’t Luna’s car break down last night?”

“Did it?”

She gives me a staredown. “You know it did. You’re the SAA, you know everything.”

“Clearly, I don’t know everything. If I’d known you’d be stoppin’ by to bust my chops, I would’ve stayed in bed.”

She sighs like I’m annoying. “Don’t start grumbling, or I won’t bring you food anymore.”

“You say that, but we both know you will. You can’t help it.” I’m right and she knows it.

“Your ol’ man know you bring me food?”

Another eye roll. “Yes. He says it makes you less grumpy.”

“If you wanna make me less grumpy, stop by Sweet Treats and grab some of those Red Velvet cupcakes that were at Caprice’s baby shower.”

She shakes her head. “That’s what you remember from your Prez’s baby’s christening?”

I shrug. “They were good cupcakes.”

“Anyway, getting back to the G-Wagon…”

“Let’s not talk about it.”

“I think it’s sweet of you and all, but it’s an expensive car… You know how Luna gets… with her pride and all.”

That’s true. She doesn’t like thinking that she’s a charity case. I’d never see her in that light, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t.

“So, she can send it back to the fuckin’ car dealership if she wants to be an ungrateful bitch.”

Summer sighs loudly. “Tag. We talked about this.”

“Did we, Dr. Phil?”

“Yes. And the use of the term ‘bitches’ is not only derogatory to women of the club, but completely belittling.”

“Look like I care?”

“You should care, you might be a father one day. How would you like your daughter to be called a bitch just because she speaks her mind or is strong willed?”
