  "Really Ned. A hardware store!" I raised my voice at him.

  He groans.

  “Of all places?! A freaking hardware store?!”

  He groans a little louder as I hear a ruffling sound, "Hugo, are you really going to talk to me about this one right now?"

  "Yes. I answered firmly."

  "It's two in the morning." He whines.

  "I don't care. Of all job opportunities you could've given her, it had to be at a hardware store."

  "What's wrong with it?"

  "She's a goddamn nurse!” I complained. “What do you want her to do there? Nursing the tools?"

  Ned laughs annoyingly loud. "Out of all the jokes you pulled off, that one was funniest. I swear to God."

  I groaned. "I'm not joking Ned."

  He exhales. "Relax will you? And hey, that was the only vacant job I could offer her and that my friends had. I’m sorry if it was not better than you expected."

  I push my hair off my face feeling disappointed with his plans.

  "Did she whine about it?" Ned questions.
