He was at the post office putting everything he bought except for the carrier case that held the cutest puppy. It yapped and yapped some more. Owen thought of Zach, thinking he needs an ally of some kind. Let him know he was thinking about him. The large box including the carrier was addressed to the Hookah to Zachary from Owen Connors it read in a small card. What's good is if he actually likes them. Sure he spent enough cash on a friend, but it was worth it a lot. "Thanks. Make sure this person gets it."He then walked outside almost thinking he should call Zach to see if he wanted to hang out. He'll do that and invite him to the Betwixt and Between for dinner, they can go together. It's a shot, but they do need alone time for now to patch everything up.

After Zachary finished up on the phone with Owen, he stepped out of the Neon and strolled inside the hookah. Whatever the hell it was the doctor sent him, it sounded big. At least, big enough that nobody working wanted to just drive it over, but they wouldn't say any more. Simply that the package would be sitting on a table in the corner, and that he should hurry up so it stopped making so much noise.
The last bit had him confused, until he actually walked in and saw what he was talking about. On the table was a big box, and on the floor beside it was a pet carrier, with what sounded like a puppy yapping away for attention. “Owen...what the hell...?” Zack muttered, slowly moving closer and bending down to take a look inside. Any reservations he had about the package was swept away when he locked eyes with the puppy inside, still yapping to be let out. A note card on the inside indicated he was a white lab, but all Zack could think about was what Alex and Ash would think about having another dog around. Obliging the creature, Zack opened up the carrier, but scooped the pup up in his arms before tearing into the box on the table.
Inside the box were four smaller boxes that gave no indication of what could be inside, though Zack could smell something sweet from one of them. Picking the particular box out, he opened it up to see a neat little arrangement of cupcakes with different colored icing. “...You know, I'm starting to wonder...” He mused, trying to decide if the doctor was asking him out on a date, but went ahead and popped one into his mouth, ripping off little bits to feed to the puppy in his other arm. Fucking hell, now he'd have to think of a name.
The rest of the boxes gave Zack reactions ranging to 'Aww, how sweet', to 'Wait...how much was this again'? Once they were laid out on the table, there was a small box of cupcakes, a scrapbook with little funny drawings and pictures, a decently sized ipod, an Alienware gaming laptop. Feeling a little overwhelmed, Zack sat back in the seat, putting the puppy down on the floor and letting it run amok while he tried to sort out what to do next. He certainly didn't want to tell Owen to take them back, but nobody ever spent this much money on him before, let alone someone he'd only known for a couple months. “...Well, if he wants to.” Talking to himself again, Zack pulled out the cellphone, trying to decide who to call. At first, his fingers hovered over Owen's picture, wanting to at least give him a big 'thank you'. After a bit of debate, he scrolled back up and hit Alex's. If he was going to keep all of these, he'd have to see what the rest of the house thought.
