Pick Your Poison, Monday
Now that Valentine's Day was over, it was time to do a serious deep dive into inventory. Time to see what sold, what didn't, what the family should make more of, what they should make less. Between going over the stock, going over the ingredients, and then going over the numbers, Adrian was pretty sure he had a good week's worth of work ahead of him. Probably for the best to get it done while the island was all but emptied; if he was going to ignore the world to throw himself fully into bookkeeping, probably best to do it when there weren't any distractions around.

Then she'd tossed the thought aside. She was here with a mission, and she wasn't going to get distracted! Much. No. Not even by the flamingos. (She was tempted.)
No. She'd been searching for this place for a long time, and now she'd found it, and she planned to fling the door open, like so, and she was gonna find her girl, and she was gonna say--
"Hi, minion," she chirped in her nasal Brooklyn accent. She was tall, with red and black ribbons in her hair - much longer than Fandom's Harley Quinn, tied up into two ponytails that reached her hips, wearing a black leather jacket over her red-and-black mid-riff baring top and pants. "Where's yer bathroom? I haven't peed since Wilmington."

He stopped. Squinted harder. Took in all the little details about this woman. And came to a truly stunning conclusion. "You're not Harley." And then his eyes widened with the implications that came crashing along with it. "Oh! You are! You're Pam's Harley!"

Had she taken their garden heart-to-heart to, well, heart? And called her Harley again to start the process of working things out?
no subject
At least she was cheerful about it. And she remembered to get the door!
"I've been following in her footsteps. Through her letters," Harley said. "And that one weird phone call where she did nothin' but breathe."

She sprinted past Adrian in the indicated direction, vanishing behind the small door.
And then immediately reappearing.
"Wait, is Pammy actually here?"
no subject
But he had every plan to text her just as soon as Harley was in the bathroom proper. Possibly with more capital letters and exclamation points than he'd ever used in his life.
no subject
"Thanks, minion!" Harley called, and then she was off to the bathroom. Oof, her bladder felt like a grenade about to go off.
no subject
He had frantic texts to be sending.
What he lacked in exclamation points, he made up in sheer quantity of texts.
...Yeah, he was sticking with tea for the rest of the day. Non-caffeinated.
no subject
Thanks, Harls.
"What'd you say your name was, minion?" Would she remember? It'd be a surprise!

"I don't know who you are at all," Harley offered, after adding another scoop. "But you're a guy who works for Pam and you're alive! Good job!"

"Oooh, are those bath bombs?"
She shoved the cup onto the nearest available surface and rushed into the shop.
no subject
"Yes," he said, grabbing her cup
like a good minionand following her. "My family makes them."no subject
"'s funny," Harley said. "Never thought Red would be into bath stuff... She's really goin' through something."
no subject
He didn't think Harley would care about the abrupt topic change. Call it a hunch.

Unless she turned chicken and ran. Dammit, Pam, don't you do it!
no subject
Harley put the little purple bomb back... Sort of where she found it.
"Good. 'Cause Pammy needs me."

Harley jerked at the sound of the door slamming open.
no subject
Harley was here.
She flung open the door to her shop, and-- just. Stopped. In the doorway.
Because. That was Harley.
no subject
"I got your letters," Harley said, eyes wide. And then, after a second: "... Are ya gonna say something? 'Cause I drove all this way from Gotham--"
no subject
Pam practically tackled her. She grabbed Harley by the waist and tugged her in, found her lips with her own.
Home.
What else is love?
no subject
He was just gonna...you know. Go back and get very involved with his bookkeeping. Not that he disapproved of the reunion or the physicality of it. Get it, Pam. He was just pretty sure neither of them wanted someone hanging around watching this intensely intimate and personal reunion.
(Assuming they were cognizant of him right now, which he wasn't putting high odds on.)
no subject
At least the kiss didn't go on for too long? But only because Pam had grabbed Harley by the hand, and was already tugging her towards the back.
They vanished through the door into the back moments later, massive smiles on their faces. Not long after that, Adrian would find out how thin the walls were in here.
no subject
You know, his paperwork could wait. He felt like treating himself to a very, very long lunch.
And was just gonna flip the sign to 'Closed' as he went.
