Chapter 12-1
Effie
Over the next week, I didn’t see much of Leandro. He stopped by the shop a couple of times, but every
time, I made sure that I stayed in the back in the kitchen. As much as I loved and missed him, I didn’t want
to go through what I did again. I wouldn’t let him use me anymore. And I was determined to make him
think that I wasn’t me.
My brothers both got in late last night, and we have plans to go to the aquarium with Veer. They want to
spend as much time with us as possible while they are here for the next few days. Archie and Henrie both
live in New York at the moment. Archie got a degree in computers, and Henrie got his in architecture.
Right now, they are still living in New York, but they are thinking about moving either back home to be close to Dad. Or down here to be close to me. They have yet to make up their minds. That’s part of the
reason that they came down here for a visit. That and they want to visit with me and their nephew.
I have a feeling that if they move down here, that my dad and grandma won’t be far behind them. Dad’s already been coming down here when he can to visit.

with anything that needs to be done.
Dad uses the company as a way to come down here and see us. He also visits with the other company that we have in New York a couple of times a month as well. I love it when he’s able to come and visit with

Dove has a meeting with her actual editor and the owner of the company that she writes for. She’s getting pissed over the shit the temporary editor pulled and the fact that the owner doesn’t want to do anything to her. Apparently, he’s been sleeping with her and refuses to punish her. When Dove quits, they will love their best author,
So, while she is dealing with all of that today, we will be looking at the fish. I wake up at seven and get a
shower before getting Veer up. I put him in his pack in play and turn on cartoons while I make breakfast. Since my brothers are here, I make a big breakfast. Before I start it, I start a pot of coffee. I need my caffeine fix to start my day. Then I fix pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy, biscuits, and bacon.
As soon as the smells from breakfast start to flow throughout the house, everyone comes wandering in. “Mmm, damn sissy, it smells good in here. I miss your cooking so freaking much. Archie can’t cook worth a damn, he always burns everything,” Henrie said.
Archie came in grumbling at Henrie “If you don’t like my cooking, then you can fix your own damn food from now on. Noone said that you have to eat the shit that I fix.
