Dane’s POV

I had to concentrate really hard not to cut myself with my pruning shears knowing Calico was watching every move I was making from her bedroom window. I was tempted to stand up and wave, but that might alarm her, especially since she had no idea just how good my eyesight really was.

I chuckled to myself as I continued to pull and prune the stubborn weeds. I might need a cold shower when I’m finished.

Chapter Eleven

I spent most of the night fuming. That crazy Dane Savage was really getting under my skin. His behavior was more than annoying. It was turning downright out of control.

My sisters had decided that they wanted to stay in town and grab some dinner after work. That was fine by me. I wasn’t really in the mood for conversation anyway.

I opened the freezer and surveyed my choices for dinner. I decided on a steak and cheese hot pocket, my favorite. I stuck it in the microwave and poured me a drink.

The buzzer to the microwave rang and I took my food and drink to the living room. I plopped down on the sofa and grabbed the remote to the TV.

“Yay!” I squealed recognizing my favorite mystery show.

I couldn’t tell you if my food was good or not since I ate without thinking as I watched the show. I went for another bite and realized I’d eaten it all already. Bummer.

I was whistling the tune from Jeopardy and walking with my dishes through the dining room toward the kitchen.

Wow, it turned dark quick, I thought as I glanced out the glass doors toward the back deck. Wait. I thought I saw movement in the dark. It was brief but I was sure I saw something. I stopped and peered out the glass, looking first to my left and then to my right. Hmmm, I guess not. Big yellow eyes were suddenly right in front of mine. I screamed and jumped backward, causing my dishes to drop to the floor and make a loud clatter.

I quickly reached for the door to make sure it was locked and then I remembered the front door. I spun and made a mad dash through the house toward the front door. At that moment, it swung open wide and a man barged in.

I didn’t even stop to see who it was. I turned and raced for the back door.

“Calico! Calico!”

I recognized the voice instantly and stopped dead in my tracks, spinning to greet him.

“Dane?!”

He ran to me, taking my shoulders in his hands. His big grey eyes, filled with concern, peered down at me. “What happened? Are you all right?”

I couldn’t answer. All I could do was nod.

He then ran throughout the entire house, checking on all the doors and windows. When he returned, he took my hand and led me to the sofa and sat me down.

“You stay right here while I check the perimeter of the property, okay?”

I nodded my agreement and then he was gone.
