“I pretended I forgot all about it.”
“Good.”
“But he latched right onto me,” I told her.
“Assholes like him need someone to blame, considering, intheir minds, they can do no wrong.He’s looking for someone to blame.”
“Should I be worried?”
“It’s impossible for this to blow back on you.”
“He can fire me, Ally.”
“He has to have cause, Malia.”
“It’s an employment-at-will state.”
“That’s bullshit, and you above everyone knows it.Thatprotects an employer only so far.And when you’re lashing out because you gotcaught with your dick in a woman not your wife at the same time you’re movingmarital assets to hide them from said wife, you best not be firing a valuedemployee in retaliation for some slight you have zero evidence she gave you.”
I blew out a breath.
Because she was right.
“Just be cool.He’ll turn his attention to someone else,”Ally advised.
“All right.”
“See you at Liam’s game on Friday.Ren and I are coming.”
“Great, see you then.”
We hung up and I’d almost made it home without another RCinteraction before my phone rang.
Tod.
I smiled and answered, “Hey, Tod.”
“Fuchsia, tea rose and lilac blue,” he replied.
I thought about it.
“Don’t answer now,” he said into my thoughts.“I found abouquet.It…is…life.I’m inspired.I’ll text you a picture.Byeeeeee.”With that, he hung up.
I smiled again, and as I was pulling into the garage, I gotabingon my phone that I had a text.
Once I parked, I pulled it out and looked at it.
Tod was right.
That bouquet waslife.
NowIwas inspired.
And excited.
My fluffy happy-goodness cloud grew even fluffier.
I texted,Roll with it.
