Chapter Fourteen

Jay

Logan jumped up and scooted out the door. I headed to the telephone, picking up Scratch on the way and gave him a big kiss. He was panting with that little "I'm really smiling" look of his. I dialed Johnny and waited. I was getting ready to hang up when the phone was answered. It was a man's voice, but it wasn't Johnny.

"Hi, this is Jay. I'm trying to reach Johnny."

The strange voice replied, "Just a minute please," followed by a muffled, "It's Jay."

A second passed and Johnny was on the other end. "Hello."

"Hi, Johnny. How's everything?"

With joy in his voice, he answered, "Everything's just great! That was Devron who answered. You know, your landlord. We've spent almost all of our not-working time together. I'm glad you let me come with you to talk to him about your dog."

"Oh, really, that good? Seems to be a lot of that going around. Maybe we should all get together and get to know him a little better." Before he could answer, I jumped to the most important question, "Johnny, tell me something. Is he really special? I mean does it look like maybe he's the one?"

"Jay, I know it's only been like a week, but I have to say, I've really never met anyone quite like him. I'm really crazy about him." It was apparent that Johnny was talking loudly enough for Devron to hear.

"That's great, Johnny. I just had an idea that maybe he was special. How does he feel about you?"

"Well, I asked him to marry me last night, and he said 'yes,' if that's any indication."

There was a pause. I couldn't speak. Johnny wasn't the kind of guy to jump into things like this. "Johnny! After one week!"

"Not to worry. He said yes, but we're planning a very long engagement. How's Saturday?"

Louder than intended, I said, "That's not a long engagement."

"No, I don't mean the wedding! How about Saturday to get together with you and Devron?"

"Can we make it Sunday? I have something else on Saturday that's already in balance with everyone else. Will that work?"

"Sure, call your brothers. We'll plan something for Sunday. Oh, and Jay, bring that cute little dog of yours. How's noon sound?"

"Perfect. Can Robin and I invite Finch? We want him to meet you."

"That would be fine, but I thought…"

"I'll tell you all about it later. It's a long story. So I'll call you and we can confirm. Bye. Oh, and Johnny… I'm really happy for you." A tear started to run down my cheek. I hung up the phone and wiped the tear away. I wasn't sad, but for the first time Logan's new theory sparked a special, almost magical, hope within me that was overwhelming.

Wait till Logan hears about this, I thought. He is going to flip out... My next call was to Robin. I quickly punched in the numbers. Robin picked it up on the second ring. "Jay!"

"Robin, how's everything going?"

"Busy busy here. Do you remember last week when we
