“Delaney just called,” Jay yelled.
“Good for you,” Remy replied.
Jay flipped him off. “You’re a dick. I wasn’t telling you,” Jay pointed at me. “I was telling Roc.”
Remy folded his arms over his chest. “Uh, why would Roc care about that? Are you oversharing today, Jay? We all have girlfriends here. No need to brag when yours calls. We’re all important here.”
Jay put his hand in Remy’s face and looked at me. “Delaney called. She just had to help Mave shove a whale, dolphin, and a sea otter in her car.”
A grin spread across my lips. I got confirmation they were delivered, but I had been waiting all day to hear anything about them. “They fit?”
“Sea otter is in Delaney’s car right now, but I think that’s only because she wants the damn thing to come home with her. She just sent me a link to buy one of her own.” Jay held his phone up in my face.
I looked at the screen. “I got a better deal on mine. Go with my guy. I’ll get you his number.”
Remy blinked rapidly and shook his head. “What in the hell is going on right now? I feel like I’m the only one with both feet planted in reality.”
“Strange feeling for you, huh?” Jay asked him.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket. It was time for the next step in my plan. “Explain to ol’ Remington what’s going on. I got a phone call to make.”
Jay put his arm around Remy’s shoulders and walked with him out the overhead door.
“You look mighty happy.” Frankie was standing next to the car with a clipboard in her hand. “I got a little bit of that conversation, and I’m assuming it has to do with Mave.”
I smiled and pointed to the car. “Get back to work, Frankie.”
She shook her head and laughed. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
I walked into the front office and right out the front door.
“Where are you going?” Harlyn shouted.
I hopped into the driver’s seat and cranked up my car. I rolled down the window. “I’m leaving for the day. Make sure everyone does their shit.”
“Really?” Harlyn stood in the doorway holding the door open.
“Yeah. I got something important I need to do.”
A huge smile spread across her lips. “You fixed the mess?”
I shifted the car into drive. “Working on it.”
Harlyn gave a me a thumbs up. “Go get her, Dad.”
That was exactly what I was going to do.
