CHAPTER 10

Lennox

I should have known Granny wouldn’t let sleeping dogs lie. Sleeping dogs meaning me, and lie being the whole I’m not going to show up with your brothers and create a lot of super fun chaos and get super involved in your love life to make sure things work out because you’re probably going to mess things up if left to your own devices thing.

I’m up at five on Monday morning. It’s been a bit of a challenge to get used to not being awake during the night and sleeping during the day, which was pretty much our normal routine before because Granny likes to keep strange hours. I’ve learned to enjoy getting up early so I have some time to myself before I have to open up the pawnshop at nine. I like to workout in the super small gym I have set up in the closet-like space of a spare bedroom in this place, savor a cup of coffee, then shower and head out.

This morning is like how most other Monday mornings have come to be, with one major addition. Granny. She happens to be sitting at the table in the kitchen while drinking a glass of water slowly, sip by methodical sip. She’s as silent as a viper and as benign-looking as a fuzzy kitten. Well, no, she’s no kitten. She’s more like a sleek mother cat. Granny is always wearing some kind of black. Today, it’s her favorite combo—the black power suit of epicness. Her long white hair is twisted up into a knot, and her face is almost angular in the shadows cast by the light overtop the table. It’s still pitch black out, but Granny wouldn’t bother with opening the blinds even if there were a good amount of sunlight out there.

“Whoa. There’s a granny in my kitchen.” I stop in my tracks. I’m wearing boxers…good fucking thing for that. Because I sometimes come down here for a glass of water in the nude before I head back to my room to get my workout clothes on.

“There is indeed a granny in your kitchen.” She sips her water slowly and sighs. “I bought you a station wagon with a big trunk area and an even bigger back seat. That bad boy seats eight.”

“Uh, please tell me you’re kidding.” I blink into the pale golden glow of the overhead light. Maybe this is a dream. Or maybe I’m sleepwalking. But no. I already know it’s real. Granny is just like that. She’s kind of crazy, though we all use the term unpredictable. She doesn’t like to be boring, that’s for sure.

“You mean you think it’s strange for me to leave Switzerland to come all the way here to buy you a station wagon and deliver it first thing in the morning?”

I scratch my head. “Uhhh, maybe a little.”

“And you think it’s strange that I hacked my way through all your security, disabling everything and slipping in seamlessly like a silent but violent gust of wind—”

“Otherwise known as a fart…and no, I’m not surprised about that.
