A billion?
QB
That may be an exaggeration. I think it’s six or eight. Has an entire room devoted to their cages and everything. It’s elaborate, and pretty neat.
Me
Would he be interested in fostering them?
QB
I don’t know. He’s in and out of town with the Denver Wolves, so any care would fall to his wife. I won’t answer for her.
Me
Jax? Jax Mitchell? The hockey guy?
QB
You know who he is?
Me
I do. I don’t pay attention to hockey as much as I do football, but I can follow the game. I only became aware of him after he married his wife, though. I always thought she seemed like a neat person when I watched her forecasts.
QB
I cannot wait to tell Jax that you like his wife better than him.
Me
That’s not exactly what I said …
QB
I paraphrased.
Me
You already told him?
QB
Yup. He said he’ll stop by your clinic after lunchtime. If I had to guess, it’s because he’ll be bringing his wife.
Me
I just did a little happy dance. Thank you!
QB
My pleasure. But next time, record the happy dance, please.
Me
I’ll take that into consideration.
It’s probably good Jamie didn’t see me react when he said he’d send Jax Mitchell my way. I may not follow hockey too much, but I know who he is. He’s incredibly handsome, and has the most amazing Texas twang. But, as a woman with an affinity for science and technology, I may have a little bit of a girl crush on Becca Stephens. Or is it Becca Mitchell now? Is there an eloquent way to ask if a woman has taken her husband’s last name? Hello, I’m Audrey. Have you decided to continue on in the antiquated tradition of losing your own identity?
