Bab 187: Unfinished business

We did manage to catch Panda after all. She sent us with her best wishes and a question about when I was planning to open the store again and if she would get a full salary for this month. I had no answer for the first one, but my "yes" to the second put a smile on Panda's face.

"Hold tight, ma chèrie."

"You don't need to tell me." I was already holding for him as tight as I could, and tucked my face into his chest so I could catch only a peek of the street in front of us.

"Alright. Maybe I should instead tell you 'don't hold so tight that you will have cramps in your fingers'."

I bucked my legs in protest. "Hey, it's my prerogative to be ironic and sassy! Come on, let's move."

"And move we shall." JJ said, and whatever else I could've wanted to say got taken away from me, together with my breath.
