“You should be excited. Today is the start of Operation Fix the Fox,” she said, grabbing her bowl and making her way over to the sink.
My eyes washed over her body. I could only imagine what my teammates were going to say when I showed up with her tagging along beside me.
“Operation Fix the Fox?”
“Yep, Fix the Fox. It’s the title I gave to this project. Cute right?” she said, crinkling her nose as she stuffed her things into her bag.
“Yeah, really cute. Why on earth would you give this project a title? Let me guess, because you think having a cute title is going to somehow magically help the situation?”
“Cute titles always help. Just relax. I’m only going to shadow you this morning. Like I told you yesterday, I want to note your habits.”
“Note my habits?”
“Yep, I want to have you adjust things that perhaps you shouldn’t do.”
“What, like drink beer?” I questioned, crossing my arms over my chest.
“Yep, exactly like drinking beer. When you drink, you lose the ability to maintain control, and I think that may be one reason you keep getting yourself into these situations.”
Out of the pair of us, if anyone knew what drinking did to someone, it was me. I’d not only spent my time dealing with a drunk father when I was younger, but I also watched him drink himself to death in his later years.
“You know what I think?” I questioned.
“What?”
“I think someone in this kitchen needs to mind their own business. I also think she needs to get more sleep at night instead of staying up all hours keeping the person on the other side of the wall awake while arguing with Mr. Perfect.”
She didn’t even skip a beat; she kept shoving things into her bag and then zipped it closed.
“Well, thank you for that. Oh, and we weren’t fighting. Now, instead of worrying about me and my habits, how about we focus on the problem at hand? Now, we need to get going.”
I rolled my eyes and then drank down the rest of my shake, half listening to what other garbage she was going on about. The moment she stopped speaking, I rinsed out my cup and grabbed my keys.
