No. It’s so big. It could be hiding in there somewhere, I guess.

JOHNNY

That’s what she said.

ME

That’s…kind of funny?

JOHNNY

Well, it is not ideal if you don’t find the card. It was supposed to say, You may continue monetizing your vlogs now.

ME

You talked to Louisa?!

JOHNNY

Yes. She should be calling to let you know. But the card was the whole point of the flowers.

ME

Why didn’t you just text me?

JOHNNY

Because I was being romantic.

I have to take a call now.

Bye.

Oh my God. He is such a dork. Just as I’m about to put my phone away, I get a call from Callie.

“What’s up? I gotta check on my salmon order,” I say.

“Um. There’s someone in our apartment.”

“What?! Call the police!”

“No, I mean, she’s cleaning. Everything.She says your boyfriend sent her.”

My brain freezes. “Huh?”

“Your boyfriend. John Brandt.”

“Oh, right! Sorry. I completely forgot about that. He told me he’d send his housekeeper, and I forgot to tell you. Do you want me to ask her to leave?”

“No, I want you to have him send her every week! Every day if possible,” Callie says. “I also want her to adopt me. She made me an iced coffee that’s better than Starbucks! I’m gonna drink iced coffee until I get iced diarrhea. Actually, I shouldn’t because the bathroom’s so clean.”

“Hanging up now—bye.”

I call John’s cell phone, expecting to leave a message, but he answers on the first ring.

“Olivia?” He sounds concerned. I can hear people talking in the background.

“Did you give your housekeeper my key?”
