Chapter 8 – Finnegan Takes Manhattan

He chuckled, running his hand through his curly mop of hair. “Who would have known that in just one day, Flea would pretty much own the big city everyone thought would eat her alive?” There was that undertone of pride that always colored his voice whenever he spoke of his twin sister. From what I have seen, he's never doubted her strength where others faltered because she seems so fragile and almost innocent at times.

The man said toward the kitchen, saying the first part loudly to tease his mother, “It was the day Fin was moving to the big city after she got her bachelors degree from the local community college. Mom was a mess.”

He looked fondly toward where some pretty savory smells of meats and spices were coming from, “She shouldn't have been. There isn't a woman more organized in this world than Finnegan.”

Grinning at the memory, he explained, “She had been, meticulously gathering weeklies from the city and organizing them into a wedding planner style book. Three primary rooms for let highlighted and meetings with the renters scheduled. I'm pretty sure she laminated those clippings. She had four backup apartments lined up. Each categorized and ranked according to their locations and accessibility to Central Park and the most upper-class residences in Manhattan as well as facilities and public transport.”

The man shook his head. “She told us her plan one day, that she wanted to start her own business in New York City. We all thought it would have something to do with animals, her studies were focused that way. She loved animals and simply adored our dog, Puddles. I originally thought she would take veterinary medicine after her bachelors, but she had other plans.”

He chuckled and laid back on the couch, shaking his head as he draped one arm around Becky's shoulders. “Imagine our reactions when she pulled out a scrapbook and laid out her plans to become a dog walker, of all things, in Manhattan. We were thinking she was just being Fin, she loves dogs. That is until she laid out everything in meticulous detail. Imagine our shock when she showed us how much dog walkers could make.”

Garrett shrugged as Bek reached up to her shoulder with one hand and took his hand. “She had everything laid out almost to the minute. This grand five-year plan of hers. It was all pie in the sky stuff, like owning her own apartment in one of the most crowded and expensive cities in the world.” He motioned his free hand around to the apartment we sat in which Fin owned.

He said with a smirk toward his mother, “Mom was scared to death, thinking New York City would eat her alive. But I knew she could at least make a decent go of it. Flea is fearless. But not even I knew that five minutes after she hit the city that she'd own it.”

Eyes creased in the memory he squished his lips to one side of his face, something that mirrored one of his sister's expressions.
