“Thanks, Harvey,” he said as he stood up. “I decided to go over to Annapolis today, see Mom.” He walked me to the door. “Unless you need me.”
“I love that idea. Get out of here.” I opened the front door, let Galen in, and gave Marcus a solid push out. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Mr. Assistant Manager.”
That brought a smile to his face. “See you tomorrow.”
Galen let Mack off her leash and wandered toward the register with me. “So Marcus is your new assistant? I love that idea. That young man knows his books. Did you know he has read every Agatha Raisin mystery? He told me he really likes how loveable she is, but that he’s not sure why James puts up with her. I concurred completely.” He looked over toward the mystery section. “Anyway, great choice in assistants, Harvey. I’m off to shop.”
