My god. That man was a drunk elf when we were kids. How is his liver still working?
Brinkley
Remember the year we did that Christmas photo with me and Georgie on Santa’s lap and you guys standing around him for the family holiday card, and Mr. Weber photobombed us?
Yes. Mom was so mad when she ordered two hundred and fifty cards, only to see an elf with unusually red eyes jumping up in the background.
Cage
Well, if he burps on my daughter, I’m going to have a word with him.
Brinkley
I would pay money to see you go all papa bear protective on Mr. Weber.
Hugh
Why don’t you guys all come have dinner at the restaurant after taking Gracie to see Santa, and I’ll have Mom and Dad come, too?
Perfect. Going to bed. I’ll be home tomorrow.
I moved to the bathroom and ran a bubble bath in the fancy tub. I pinned up my hair and climbed in. I was deep into my beta read from my cousin, Ashlan. I often read on my Kindle app on my phone, and a text from Maddox appeared at the top of the screen.
Bossman
I just emailed you a copy of the contract that we are sending to Mara tomorrow morning. Check it over for me, and then we will forward it to her and that douchedick agent of hers.
I laughed so hard I nearly dropped the phone in the tub.
I’m glad you’re dealing with her and not just him. I don’t get a good vibe from him.
Bossman
Good. He’s bad news. Tell me why you and your ex broke up.
That was random. Why was he asking about that now?
Nice segue. Why do you want to know?
Bossman
You just answered another question with a question.
At least I’m consistent. Answer the question, please.
Bossman
Because my employee drives a motorized bicycle in the snow due to the fact that her asshat ex-boyfriend stole her car. He’s blackmailing you. So, I want to know why he’s taking the breakup so hard.
I let out a long sigh.
It was a lot of things. We didn’t have much in common. But the straw that broke the camel’s back was when I went to one of his concerts. I was in the back room of the bar, waiting for him. A fire alarm got pulled, and I ran to try to find him when I could have just run out the back door.
My feet slipped as I texted, and the water sloshed over the side of the tub and bubbles covered my hands.
Bossman
Are you going to tell me what happened? I’m guessing you didn’t use the back door?
