The next morning, Mike made waffles, and we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast.
“I’m at your service today and tomorrow,” Mike said. “I’ve been fielding phone calls for Merry in between getting your phone and her phone to forward the messages and calls on their own. I think you’ll be getting your calls today, and she should be getting hers. Gee-shush, she has made friends already, and they want her to work overtime, so thank God that’s done. She also said she loves some of the selfies on your phone, and under penalty of death, we are not to look at hers. I already did, of course.”
Mike poured coffee for both of us. “Your brother has already called twice this morning, and I told him I was not your secretary but that for another twenty dollars…and he hung up. I hope I didn’t get you in trouble.
