EXCERPT – The Vet's Valentine Gift by J.L. Campbell
(Exclusive to the Valentine, Pets & Kisses Box Set)
I poured a glass of coconut water and went back to the
living room, conscious of how awkward I felt after yesterday's argument with
Matthias. It had probably been a mistake to call him, but Jade hadn't given me
a choice and would have found a way to contact him herself if I hadn't.
Squaring my shoulders, I entered the living room.
Jade still had the kitten in her lap and was talking to
Ridley.
" … treat him nice, okay boy?"
Ridley's head was tipped to one side as if he understood
what she was saying.
When she patted him on the forehead, I was sure he smiled,
which forced me to bite my lip.
Every time he did that thing that looked like a smile, I gave
thanks for my daughter. She was the only person I knew who got that reaction
from both people and animals.
Matthias was sitting on the sofa, and I put the glass into
his hand and sat adjacent to him.
"So, the cat will be all right?"
"Yeah, from what Jade told me, Ridley was just playing
with him." He drank from the glass and then put it on the table. "He
could easily have done him more harm."
"How old is it anyway?"
"Around three or four weeks old."
"I'm glad I won't have to explain to anybody that our
dog killed their cat."
"Just like you nearly killed Ridley," Jade said.
When I rolled my eyes, Matthias laughed and I didn't bother
to correct Jade. Instead, I said, "It's a good thing we stopped and
checked him out. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a pet."
"And now we might have another one," she said.
I shot a desperate look at Matthias, who only smiled and
picked up the glass for another sip.
