Chapter 37: Harvey

“What’re you doing here? Don’t you have a big date today?” he said sliding his messenger bag off his back and placing it at my feet behind the counter. I took a deep breath and he cut me off.

“Did you ruin it? You didn’t send her a picture of your dong, did you? I did that once, ruined everything…” I tried hard not to laugh but he always knew how to break down that wall.

“Nora and her family were in a car accident last night,” I said clearing my face of all laughter. He pulled up the stool next to me. “Are they all right?” he asked dropping all sarcasm that was usually in his voice. “Nora had surgery early this morning and the rest of her family are okay,” I said pulling out my phone and placing it on the countertop.

“How did you find out?” he asked folding his hands in his lap. “Her best friend Miranda got a hold of me last night and told me,” I said still trying not to worry so much. “That was nice of her. You okay?” he asked.
