CHAPTER 9

By the time they got to the copy store, Stella was back in business mode. Chuck followed behind her, quiet and ready to lend a hand, while the dynamo worked her business magic. A small misprint magically turned into a large chunk of savings and extra services. They waited at the customer service desk while the young woman manning it skittered around trying to get together the extras she had been told by her manager to provide to Stella.

“You are some kind of mastermind, aren’t you?” Chuck asked under her breath. She leaned her head close, so that her lips were inches from Stella’s unpierced ears. “How do you do it?”

Stella smirked and leaned back to whisper into Chuck’s ear. “The game is all about what you believe you deserve. Anyone can tell people how to treat them; most people simply don’t know how.”

Chuck was in awe. In less than half an hour, she had an extra set of flyers, new business cards for the shelter, and even a set of postcards with a picture of Stanley in his current state on the front. Chuck helped the customer service rep load them into the back of Stella’s car while the woman herself looked on and chatted with the manager, a man twice her age who looked like he wanted to nibble her earlobe.

When they were back in the car, Chuck reached for the radio dial, then glanced Stella’s way and stopped herself. “Sorry, I was wondering what the weather was going to be today. The app on my phone never works.”

“What do you have planned?” Stella asked, putting on her blinker and maneuvering them onto the interstate highway. “A date?”

Chuck blushed and stared out the window at an ominous cloud. “No. I was thinking of getting some of the dogs out for a walk this afternoon. They have probably been cooped up too long without me there to rotate them outside, and they need to be on their best behavior at the adoption drive.”

Stella nodded, then turned on the radio and turned the dial to a news program from her steering wheel. They listened quietly to a political advertisement before the meteorologist came on to talk about the week-long forecast. In the end, he talked about a slight chance of showers later in the day, but promised they would pass quickly.

Chuck debated whether it would be worth it to bathe a dozen puppies to get the energy out of them, and decided that it would. Once they had run out all their wiggles and had baths, they would be tuckered out, would sleep well, and hopefully awake the next morning with good attitudes for adoption.

“What’s going on in there?” Stella asked again. This time she ran her finger along the short hair behind Chuck’s ear.

Chuck shivered. “Thinking about puppies.”

“You spend a lot of time thinking about animals, don’t you?” Stella indicated her intentions to the other drivers with a flick of her blinker, then drove down the off-ramp onto a side street Chuck barely recognized.
