Chapter 13
HOPE: I forgot one thing on the contract.
JAY: And what’s that?
HOPE: I need to know what Amaplida means.
JAY: You need to?
HOPE: Yes, it's been driving me crazy.
I’d tried to spell it out a few times on Google Translate, but I must’ve been spelling it wrong because nothing was coming up.
JAY: It's Amapolita. And it means Little Poppy.
HOPE: Why Little Poppy?
JAY: The poppy seed muffins. The drug test jokes.
HOPE: So I'm nicknamed after a muffin?
JAY: Well, I couldn't very well call you muffin. That’s Bollo. And to me, Amapolita sounds better. Also, you're small, but stubborn, and a little addictive.
HOPE: Addictive?
Three little dots appeared on the screen. There was a whole minute of those dots appearing and disappearing before Jay finally responded.
JAY: It's late, Hope. Get some sleep. I’ll see you in the morning.
