NINE

As much as I wanted to protest Hank going with me and Mary Elizabeth back to my hometown, I had to say it would make for great company. After supper, Hank and I had gotten the RV as prepared for moving as we could. All the items in the cabinet were securely tied down with various things like bungee cords, tape, and even some rope.

There were only a few knickknack items I normally kept around to make the RV homey, and those were easily stored in the kitchen sink or bathroom shower. While Hank had replaced one of the old propane tanks with a new one Alvin had dropped off, I sat down with my notebook and wrote out a summary of my exact purpose of going back home. I didn’t want to lose sight of why I was really going back there.

“You mean to tell me they took all your cash?” Mary Elizabeth licked her thumb and used it to roll through the stack of cash she’d pulled out of her Lily Pulitzer handbag.

“I don’t need your money.” I pushed her hand away after she held out some of the dough. “Alvin not only assured me the bank will pay me back, but he also gave us the water tank and supplies we need for our little outing along with everything you see back there.”

I had to put down the café table and push back the chair and couch so I could fill the space with all the extra propane tanks, straps, bins, and buckets full of various camping things we would never need.

“That’s a bunch of stuff.” Hank was crammed on the couch with Fifi and Chester.

“I think Alvin felt bad about the bank, though it’s not his fault it happened.” I drove the RV up the entrance ramp to the highway. Though home was about three hours away, most of the drive was interstate.

“Jerry has been trying to get it all figured out. The FBI is involved, and they are trying to trace down the hackers, but sometimes those people aren’t even in the United States, so they said it might take a while.” Hank picked Fifi up from his lap and tried to put her down, but she was insistent on sitting on him. “Fifi, it’s too cramped.”

She didn’t care. She hopped into his lap and sat, her back straight as an arrow. She might not have been living the pedigree life, but she sure was still the picture-perfect statue.

“Don’t be complaining.” Mary Elizabeth looked back from the passenger seat of the RV and fiddled with the pearls around her neck. “You’re the one who needed a hitch. Me and May-bell-ine were just fine going back home by ourselves.”

“Maybe I don’t want to be gone from Mae that long.” Hank knew the words that would make my foster mom swoon.

And swoon she did.

“Can’t you two get engaged right now? I would be thrilled to show you two off to the girls in the society.” She reached over and gently touched my arm.
