Later that evening, I called Della up in D.C. She’d brought Millie home like she’d promised, but then she went back a week later because Alex had a doctor’s appointment.

“Hey, Della. It’s me Abit.”

“I thought it was you, Abit. I was just thinking about you—I’m coming home tomorrow.”

“How’d Alex’s appointment go?”

“Pretty good. The doctor told him things looked okay. For now.”

“What does that mean?”

“That we take it day by day.”

“Well, I’d like to live this day over and over.”

“Oh, yeah? Did you get a big order?”

“Not exactly.”

“Well, what then?”

“Fiona came by.” She was quiet for what felt like forever. “Don’t you believe me?”

“I believe you, honey. I just hope she wasn’t toying with you.”

“Oh, come on, Della. Don’t rain on my day.” I could hear her mumble something like sorry, and I went on to explain about the mandolin.

“How’d she know you wanted to learn that instrument?” Dammit. I was caught. I hadn’t planned on telling her about my phone call, but then I had to explain about Nigel and all. “Nigel told you to call her?” she asked. I swear I could smell the smoke coming outta her ears.

“Yeah,” was all I could manage to say.

“I’m going to have a talk with him.”

“Why’s that? Somethin’ nice came from it. You of all people should appreciate a reunion, what with how you and Alex got back together. And it made my heart ease a bit. Ease a lot.”

“Well, that little Irish shite better not break your heart again, or else.”

“Or else what, Della? Have you been drinkin’?”

“No, I haven’t been drinking. And I don’t know what else, but she’s got me to contend with if she pulls any funny business again where you’re concerned.”

I hated the idea that Della was mad at Fiona, but I shouldn’t have been surprised. Man, Della could be a hellcat sometimes, especially when it came to looking out for me.
