Hang tight and we can go toast Uncle Joel’s weak heart and then get your car. You have a parking place!”<br/><em><br/>"Yay!!!  A parking space!   Look do your thing, take your time.  Im in no rush, Im where I want to be...."</em>I wave her back into the lab.  I watch her work through the window.<br/><br/>Its almost and hour before Chloe finishes her work.  I sit quietly and watch, ask no questions, do nothing to distract her or make her feel like Im bored. This is Chloe lab time....Her work is a priority for both of us now.<br/><br/>Soon we are bogged down in dreadful traffic as we try to make our way crosstown.   We do, eventually, arrive, get seated at the bar and Rachel swoops over.  How she can be so pleasant with the hours of work she puts in, is, amazing!<br/><br/>“Hey Rachel, I’d like to introduce my new roommate and employee!” #Giggle<br/><br/>Rachel giggles along with us....pats both of our hands and congratulates us.....Her happiness is genuine and I feel really good sharing the news with her.   We are served our drinks and Chloe offers a toast to us!<br/><br/>“Too you! For surviving the second worst asshole to ever drag his knuckles across the planet.”<br/><br/>….the clink of our glasses touching....and Chloe adds:<br/><br/>“I keep number one open because there have to be worse assholes than Uncle Joel but I haven’t met them yet. So dish! How’d it all go down, when’s the party, all the dirt and then I have a most interesting piece of news from Mother.”<br/><br/>I explain how my day went from the moment she dropped me off....to the 2 PM meeting with Darlene.  Then a half hour later, my services were no longer needed.  Darlene had hinted that Joel got the new and accelerated "my" decision.<br/><br/><em>"I dont really care....he just cut off my good-bye tour....which by the way will have a brief comeback on Wednesday at 5 o'clock at Hallahan's bar in Brighton.....Want to be my date?"</em>I smile....<br/><br/><em>"I need to get something for Darlene though.....Any ideas?  I know she loves her Pandora charm bracelet....I was thinking of a "Forget Me Not" charm?"</em><br/><br/>I take a sip of my drink.....<em>"Sooooo tell me"</em>I say eagerly....<em>"What's your news??"</em><br/><br/>
