I tried and failed to loop Millie with her leash. Her tail wagged like we were playing a fun game.

“We will.” I made another attempt . . . and failed again.

Lincoln emerged from who knew where with a collapsed kennel under each arm. He looked between me and the unleashed dogs and gave his version of a smile.

“Pepper makes it look easy.” Somehow he snapped, and Muffy sat.

I easily looped him. Then Millie was more accommodating.

“Can I walk her?” Eric held out his hand, and I dropped the leash into it.

Lincoln held up the doors for us before he locked up. The elevator opened when I stepped close to it. Whoa. I thought there was a button.

“You’re not driving,” I said as I stepped inside. Muffy pawed at me, and I looked at him uncertainly.

“He wants a treat.” Lincoln pressed the button for the basement garage level. "You put a leash on him. Apparently, that requires a treat.”

“Good thing we’ve got a whole jar in the van.” I patted his head. “You’ll have to wait until we get down there.”

“I’m beginning to prefer the back.” Lincoln's gaze was intense.

It warmed me and made me shiver at the same time. “Are you learning to give up control?”

He smirked. “Not likely.”
