“What about you?”
“I can order takeout and work from home. Everything is getting done. I am even going over any last-minute wedding stuff. Maura’s here, and so is Aggie.”
“I am on speaker?”
“Yes.”
“Ladies, thank you for meeting with her today. Maura, please, remain at her side until I come and paddle her backside.” He paused. “Where are you?”
Aggie said, “The coffee shop half a block from your corporate headquarters.”
“Thank you, Aggie. I will be there shortly.” He chuckled. “Polly, how is your packing coming?”
“It’s done.”
“Excellent. In that case, there is no reason for you to return there.”
She listened and heard the slight road noise of his car. “Oh, shoot. How far are you?”
“You look lovely in blue, but I prefer red.”
She paused as she heard a vehicle slow behind her.
She stabbed the disconnect.
Aggie chuckled. “He’s quick. Oh, before you go, are you having a bachelorette?”
“Oh. No. I don’t want to inconvenience anyone. We don’t have a bridal party, so no party is necessary.”
Aggie frowned. “What about a tea?”
“No. My best friend was my boss, and he’s currently balls-deep in his new mate. He also has consumed all the tea he needs for a lifetime.”
Aggie was frustrated.
Maura said, “I wouldn’t mind going out.”
Aggie paused. “Do you enjoy karaoke?”
Maura laughed. “I do.”
“Polly?”
“Uh, I am not very good, but I think it’s fun.”
Aggie grinned. “I have a few more ladies to invite, including your friend Bella. We should make a pretty cute party. I think we can even get matching outfits.”
Hands gripped Polly’s shoulders and stroked downward. A kiss was pressed to the top of her head. “Hello, precious one. Having a nice conversation?”
“Um, yes.”
Maura moved over, and Minoru sat down in the newly emptied chair. He took Polly’s hand and looked at her. “So, have we been being stupid this week?”
She looked at him and said, “Stupid? Yes, but I was exhausted and not making the best choices.”
“Aw, were they keeping you awake?”
“No. I was keeping myself awake, but we only have three weeks to go.” She looked at him and put some of her fatigue into her expression.
