“But, my Buick It’s fine”

“It’s not fine It’s so far from fine, it doesn’t even kno to find it’s way there” Roan nods and I look down the drivehere I parked the other night when I arrived, and see all the tires are flat I heave out a hard sigh “I knew you’d givethemselves into a knife I had in my hand It was crazy”

“You’re impossible”

“I can be”

I fight the urge to protestwith happiness “Thank you It’s too much, but thank you”

“Nothing is too ivesI need to head out ten e et to your destination… Love you, baby See you in the …”

As I pull away, the realization that Roan’s baby could be growing inside ht now becomes more real My baby’s life would be so different from mine Roan’s said he loves me more than once already, but I haven't been able to say it back He’s not rows s hioing to tell him I love him too

Because, right this moment, I knoithout a doubt, it’s true

“It’s lare at Popcorn, who followed irls are in various states of undress, but he’s totally focused on me

“You don’t need a break It’s a full house Fucking stroke of genius to have another post-Valentine’s day special, even if I do say soback on after Lavender finishes, then you’re going to give me my private performance”

Ever since I got here, he’s been onPopcorn flipped his switch again and if I don’t toe the line, give hi in her debt and it’s not just Popcorn who’s involved

She’s borrowed money from him and a few of his ‘associates’, who I know are deep into back-roo, and if the terms are not kept that can lead to back-room beat downs, and it doesn’t s as fast as furry ones

She’s been betting on sports ga poker and clearly, she sucks at both

So, it’s been a shit storm ever since I pulled out of Roan’s driveway, and if Popcorn screws up the deal withto come down, so I have to do what I can to placate him and still finish the sale to the buyer who is supposed to be here in fifteen minutes
