Orion and Oakley were adjusting as best any kid could under the circumstances.
Zoey stopped walking and just looked at their visitor.
Rich dark hair stuck up all over the man’s head. There was a strange fervor in his gorgeous blue eyes. His handsome face was haggard, and beard stubbled. But it was the wild look in his eyes that had her tensing. “Neil, what’s wrong?”
“I’ll tell you what’s wrong.” He held something out to her. A large box.
“What?” Zoey took the box instinctively.
“This is not my damned cat!”
“Excuse me?”
“That is not my cat. It isyourcat. The entire town voted. The Millers even agreed.Apparently,he’s been depressed since you left, they said. It’s a cat! That is your cat!Everyone in town says he’s Zoey’s cat.There you go.Consider him your wedding present from the entire town of Garrity. Best of luck to you. I am out of here!”
And the former ex-special forces sheriff of Garrity stormed away. Admitting he’d been defeated.
Zoey heard laughter.
From Murdoch. From Pen, who knelt in front of Orion putting his shoes on him. Zoey opened the first flap.
A deep meow was her greeting.
