DICK: Yes, I can help you move Cat Lady into your place early.
DAVID: Thank you.
DICK: Oh, my God. Are you THANKING me?
DICK: Hang on. I want to savor the hell out of this moment, too.
DICK: What time do you need me? And where?
DAVID: Why don’t we meet at the loft around 9 a.m.?
DICK: Not at 7 a.m.?
DICK: Who is this? Where’s David and what have you done with him?
DAVID: LOL. I’m just making sure I don’t have to rush through morning sex.
DICK: All right. See you at 9 a.m.
Chapter 91
After Paige and Jacob left for the loft with Sputnik in his cat kennel, David checked Paige’s apartment one last time, to make sure nothing had been left behind. After locking up, he went and knocked on Mrs. Harte’s door to say goodbye.
“I’m glad you came by,” she said. “I saw Paige and Jacob before they left, and I wanted to say goodbye to you, as well.”
He kissed her papery cheek, getting a whiff of the flowery perfume she always wore. “Goodbye, Dolly. I know you probably won’t believe this, but I’m going to miss you.”
“Only until next Wednesday.”
“What do you mean?”
“Paige invited me over for dinner at your place.”
“She did?”
“Yes. I’ll be coming over for dinner every few weeks.”
“Oh, I didn’t know that.”
“I hope that’s all right with you.”
He quickly regrouped. “Of course. I look forward to it.”
“As do I,” she said with a smile. “Oh, and I like meatloaf, by the way.”
Down at the truck, Evan was making sure the back door was secure. “All set?”
“Yep.”
When they got to the loft, David told Paige, “So, Dolly informed me she’ll be joining us for dinner on the regular … and she apparently likes meatloaf.”
“I know. That’s her favorite.”
“When were you going to share this good news with me? Right after she knocked on our door next week?”
“You knew when you married me that she and I are kind of a package deal.”
“Actually, no I didn’t. And up until about twenty minutes ago, I was thinking I’d probably never see her again.”
