“Aw, you let him sleep with you?”
Contracting my brows, I replied, “No. I put his bed at the bottom of mine. He moved into my bed after I fell asleep.”
She pressed her lips together to keep from laughing. “I think it’s kind of cute he slept with you. You must not have minded him being there if you didn’t even know he was there.”
With a frown, I replied, “His head was on my pillow, Rory. My pillow!”
Rory turned away from me and headed into the kitchen, where she promptly made herself at home while getting the demon dog his breakfast.
“Coffee?” I asked.
“Nope. I had breakfast with my best friend Clare earlier. I had coffee then. I only allow myself one cup a day.”
I lifted my brow and looked at her. She was opening a can of dog food while whistling. Flash was as taken by her as I was, and the two of us just stood there staring at her like she was about to give us both gold. Shaking my head to break the trance, I went back to my coffee making.
“What brings you by?”
“Making sure you didn’t do harm to my dog.”
With a chuckle, I replied, “Such trust you have in me. And last I checked…he belonged to Engine 33.”
Rory emptied the food into
Flash’s bowl, then tossed the can into my trash. She leaned against the counter wearing the cutest fucking smile on her face, which made my knees actually tremble.
What kind of power does this woman have over me?
“Considering I don’t even know your last name, or really know you all that much, can you blame me for wanting to check on him?”
I took a sip of my coffee and appeared thoughtful. “You’re right. My last name is Ward.”
“Finn Ward. I like it.”
With a wink, I replied, “I think you’ll like the place we’re going to do dinner tonight too.”
She responded with a slight grin. “I don’t know about you, but I’ll be having dinner with my parents. It’s a Sunday tradition, ever since I started college.”
I took another sip of coffee, then replied, “That’s a damn shame.”
For some reason, she started to fiddle about, like she was nervous. “Well, do you mind if I take Flash out for a walk?”
“Dog walker. I like that idea.”
She threw me a smirk and grabbed Flash’s collar.
“Have fun, you two!” I called out.
“Oh, we will. Don’t you worry about that.”
Once she was out the door, I picked up my phone, found Colton’s number, and hit Call.
“Hello?”
“I need you to do me a favor.”
Yawning and then moaning, Colton asked, “What’s up, dude?”
“You still in my building?”
