All that pushing and shoving and it’s not even Black Friday yet

Christmas came a little early to the Sisters this year. Specifically, it arrived today, November 25th, a full month ahead of the usual schedule. Sarah MacLean’s new book – Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover – hit the shelves. Ava rushed off to BnN to purchase it. For those of you following our saga, Ava had to go alone because the cruel world has separated the Sisters for the time being, but I digress. She was fully prepared for another mishap like the one Amy experienced purchasing Jennifer Ashley’s new book last month.

Feeling no remorse, Ava mowed down all of the shoppers between her and the Romance section. She searched high and she searched low and then she did it again. But NO – no new Sarah book. Why can’t BnN just put the god damn books out on the shelves so they can oh – I don’t know, sell god books so they can stay in business?!

Ava headed for the customer service counter. Ava’s children ran and hid. Cowards.

“May I help you?” Ava was asked by “Bee”. Ava hoped she could, it would be sad to die right before Thanksgiving and at such a young age. After getting the name spelled correctly, which Ava spelled twice, Bee announced the book had arrived that day and should be in the back.

“Listen, Bee, don’t come out of the back until you find it. Seriously. I can’t be responsible for my actions if you do. Better you be the star of our blog tonight instead of a number in the emergency room waiting area.”

Mere minutes later, Bee triumphantly arrived from the back stock room – book in hand. Ava cried. Bee cried. Her relief must have been immense. Ava’s was.

Anyhoo, Ava made the boy drive home so she could sit in the back of the car and read. Who says the holidays aren’t the happiest time of the year?
