Chapter Seven

I’ve never really understood why the lighting in furniture stores is always dim and dreary. I mean, I get that they want to create a comfortable ambiance and all, by my hell. If I’m really going to let Dad buy me a new couch today, I’d like to see the exact color I’m about to pick out.

It’s been three days since I met up with Mac, and quite honestly it feels like a lifetime. I actually miss him, which is a new feeling for me. We set out to accomplish a bit of homework this week, and intend on following through with our mission this coming Saturday. We’ll meet up first thing that morning, study up on the plan A, along with plan B or whatever other emergency scenarios we can come up with, and then execute at nightfall.

I have my doubts. In fact, I’m scared out of my damn mind. But, what other choice do I have? Besides, if we go in prepared and just get the job done quick and easy, then our chances of getting away unscathed are totally possible. I don’t know if it’s because I’m completely hypnotized by Mac’s confidence, or if I truly have unwavering faith in him that I intend on following this through. He’s my last hope at a second chance, and I’m not going to pass it up now.

No matter how nervous I am, it’s time to take action on something big. We have no intention of selling the stolen goods any time soon. We’d get caught, for sure. We only plan to put it in a safe place, for at least a decade until the coast is clear. I made that my very unmistakable stipulation, in agreeing to such an outrageous ‘business’ decision. At first, the money has to come from a novel, not the heist contraband. Just like with Belle, no one can know from where the motivation was rooted.

The time crunch is an enormous obstacle. We have to get the job done before little Miss Lorraine gets back from New York, and that’s not to mention giving ourselves enough time to write a book about it before we’re both completely broke. Novels take time, and time we don’t have. This really puts a cramp on our heist prep and execution. There’s no time to dick around. It’s an in and out job. Rip it off like a bandaid, no matter how scary and painful it is. Then we can reap the reward afterward.

On the plus side, I haven't been stalking Mac’s business page anymore, and Lucy hasn’t said another word to me about him. My dad is insisting on buying me a new couch as an early birthday present. Apparently, he doesn’t care that my birthday isn’t for another two months. He and Tim came up with the bright idea of an early gift as encouragement on my book to come. Like maybe if I’m extremely comfortable in my apartment, then I’ll stay there and write until I’m finished.
