“I’ve missed you more.” She sniffed and pulled back. “Freaking Joe.”
“I can’t believe he’s the reason I had to think you were dead.” I shook my head. “Can you guys believe he had the audacity to send me a wedding invitation for his wedding to the woman he cheated on me with?”
“For real?” Rosalie put her hand on her hip.
“Yes! It’s this weekend. On the 17th.”
Rosalie gaped at me. “Isn’t that your wedding anniversary?”
Rob laughed. “And isn’t the 17tha Sunday? What kind of lame ass wedding is this gonna be?”
I laughed. “Yes, and yes.”
Rosalie smiled. One of her wicked ones. “So what are we gonna do to ruin this asshole’s wedding?”
Tanner turned to Rob. “Any suggestions?”
Rob looked shocked. “You want my help?”
“Of course,” said Tanner. “You’re the master of epic pranks. I can’t imagine a better man for the job.”
Rob smiled. “I’m honored. And I’m excited to prank Cupcake. I’ve hated that asshole since high school.” He slowly nodded his head. “I think I have just the thing. Come with me.”
He guided us to a portion of the office that was more of a warehouse.
“Give me a minute,” he said. He disappeared among the thirty-foot-tall shelves packed with boxes.
Tanner’s cell phone started ringing. He quickly answered it. “Yes?”
Pause.
“Wow, seriously? You’re sure?”
Pause.
“How did he know?”
Pause.
“Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, great work, Marty.” He hung up.
“What was that about?” I asked.
“Marty just figured out who took Santa’s magic.”
“Who was it?”
“I’ll give you three guesses.”
“Well... Taking Santa’s magic seems like a total DODO move. And I’m pretty sure either Liz or Homeless Rutherford is DODO. So…one of them.”
Tanner laughed. “Why do you think they’re DODO?”
“We saw Homeless Rutherford cruising around in a sweet new ride right after you got snatched. So I thought maybe he got paid handsomely by the genie council for your capture.”
“And Liz?”
“Because she’s the freaking worst. I’d rather be poisoned than ever have to see her again. DODO sucks and so does she. So...it just makes sense.”
