âMax, are you up there?â Finnâs voice is like a cold shower, just as unwelcome and not remotely refreshing.
âYep.â I groan, dragging my hand over my face, feeling the telltale heat in my cheeks. Her head appears and she hauls herself to sit with her legs dangling over the edge of the stack. Her smile couldnât be any wider, and she looks like sheâs had the weight of the world lifted from her narrow shoulders.
âYou look flushed. Are you all right?â She places the back of her hand on my burning cheek and then forehead. I slap it away and narrow my eyes at her shit-eating grin.
âJust a dream.â
âIâll bet, honestly, when are you going to wake up and smell the denial?â
âGood news, I take it?â I divert.
âPinkâs back and in love, and Buttercup seems really nice,â she gushes, clasping her hands together, her prayers answered. âSheâs a vet and was being forced to marry a complete arsehole. Pink thought she had actually married him, but she was being held against her will. She escaped and drove all the way here.â
âWow! Thatâs pretty dramatic.â
âI know. Nothing exciting ever happens around here, and bam! Full-on seat-of-the-pants stuff. Yesterday, he was devastated and todayâ¦â Her eyes glisten, and I pull her in for a side hug. She crumples a little, sucking back some relief-filled sobs.
âThatâs great. Iâm happy for you Finn.â
She wipes her nose with the back of her hand and tips her head, confusion clouding her joy. âYou donât seem happy.â
âMixed news for me. Iâm happy for you, but you wonât be needing me anymore, not now that Pinkâs back and with a vet in tow no less.â Itâs an effort trying to keep my tone light. My waning optimism is losing the battle with my pessimism.
Vigorously shaking her head, horror widens her eyes, and sheâs effusive in her denial. âOh, no. I donât think thatâs true. Iâm sure Pink will want to keep you on, and thereâs no way Tug and Toxic want you to leave. Besides, Buttercup and Pink have a lot to sort out, and theyâre going back to Texas in a few days.â
âReally?â
âOh not to live, just to see her grandfather and get her stuff. From what sheâs said, she doesnât want to live there, but she needs to make sure her grandfather is okay. And her clients, she doesnât want to leave them without cover. Charge is going to go with them, and heâs taking his lawyer, just to be safe. Her exâs family sound like a nightmare.â
âSo they are going to live here?â
âOf course, but weâll always have a place for you.â Her soft delivery fails to ease my bristling demeanor.
âI donât see how, and Iâm not a charity case.â
âGod, I know that. Donât say that.â She grabs my hand, pleading, and she looks mortified. Her expression is earnest, and Iâm instantly regretting my snappy outburst. âLook, Max, honestly, I donât know whatâs going to happen, but can we at least let the dust settle
