month’s worth of food and rabbit litter, and told her that if she needed anything, she should come by the Zoo.
“Thank you .” The woman had tears in her eyes. “Things have been hard lately, and I think this sweet bunny might really cheer Rosalie up.”
“I’m happy to know that Ann abelle has a good home with a little girl who loves her.” I watched the woman and child walk away. The little girl was so happy that she twirled her way all the way to the car.
“Cute kid,” Jeremy commented as he returned from loading Annabelle.
“I know you meant hot mom,” I teased. Rosalie’s mother was blond and petite, exactly Jeremy’s type. I picked up the adoption paperwork and looked at it. “The daughter’s name is Rosalie and Mom’s name is Jessica Anderson. They just recently moved to town, and it looks like she lives in your apartment building.”
“They must be the new folks in 4B.”
“Maybe you can check to see how Annabelle is doing in a day or two,” I suggested. “I got the idea there’s been a lot of turmoil in the family as of late, and they’d probably welcome a friendly neighbor.”
“I’ll do that. Maybe Rosalie would like to meet Squeaky.”
“I’m sure she would , and Jessica might benefit from the single parents group. I think the dad is out of the picture.”
“You know me, always willing to do a good deed .” Jeremy grinned.
“Yeah, I’ll bet.” I was certain his enthusiasm had more to do with Rosalie’s cute mom than anything else.
“So are we still on for tonight?” Jeremy asked.
“Six -thirty, and don’t be late,” I confirmed.
“That’ll give me time to drop the unadopted bunnies at the Zoo, check in with Tiffany, then head home for a quick shower. Can I bring anything?”
“No . Zak is barbecuing, Ellie is bringing a salad, and Levi is bringing dessert. I think we have everything else we need.”
“I feel bad not contributing.”
“Don’t worry about it. The next time the gang hangs out, you can bring the dessert.”
“Deal.”
“What time did you tell Jeremy to be here?” Ellie asked me later that evening.
“Six -thirty,” I replied. I looked around the crowded room, realizing I had no idea Jeremy had so many friends. “I guess it’s a good thing we decided to move this to Zak’s. There’s no way all these people would have fit in my little boathouse.”
“Once I notified the people in the single parents group about our plan to throw Jeremy a baby shower, they all had additional suggestions, and before we knew it, we had a mob. It looks like Jeremy won’t have to buy a single thing for Morgan, although he may have to move into a bigger apartment to fit in all this stuff. By the way, how did the bunny adoption go?”
“Really well. We placed all but eight of the cute little buggers. I’m hoping we can get people to come in to adopt their own furry bundles of joy over the next few weeks.”
“They are cute. And a lot lower maintenance than a dog or cat. Jeremy should think about keeping one for Morgan.”
“Jeremy has Squeaky,” I reminded Ellie about the hamster he’d adopted in February.
“ Oh, yeah, I forgot. Is Squeaky still working out okay?”
“Jeremy seems to love him,” I confirmed. “I have the feeling that little guy has a big heart to go with his playful and mischievous nature. He’s the perfect pet for both Jeremy and Morgan.”
“It was nice of Zak to buy all the food for the party. The steaks alone probably cost more than I make in a month.”
“You know Zak. He’s always happy to help out, and I think he’s enjoying playing host. He even opened the roof of the pool area. Luckily, he has a bunch of swim trunks to lend. There are about twenty guys involved in a very serious water polo game.”
Ellie looked out of the window. “It’s Jeremy. Tell everyone to come into the living room.”
I went to fetch the masses while Ellie went out to the drive way to stall Jeremy. We’d parked the majority of
