Eating dinner with Meena and her dad was an interesting experience. He kept giving me looks like he thought my goal was to trap Meena into staying in Crossroads.

“Dad, stop giving Jake the evil eye. He’s a good guy.”

Her dad snorted but didn’t comment.

This was fun. I ate the lasagna, which wasn’t bad, but her dad must have pulled it out of the oven too soon because it was still cold in the middle.

When he finished his food, he stood and put his empty plate in the dishwasher, grabbed a beer from the refrigerator, and headed back to the room with the television.

I leaned toward Meena. “Is your dad always this friendly, or does he hate me because we’re dating?”

“He doesn’t hate you,” Meena said. “He doesn’t like the idea of me dating. I may not have mentioned it with all the crazy demon and vampire activity and because it’s not something I tend to share, but my mom and dad met in pharmacy school. She dropped out of school and never finished her degree because she became pregnant. They were already engaged so they moved the wedding up a few months. No big deal, according to them.”

“The attitude he’s given me since I met him makes a lot more sense now.”

“What do you mean?”

“He told me not to be the reason you got stuck in Crossroads.”

Meena’s face turned bright red. “So his first words to you were, don’t knock up my daughter?”

“Pretty much.” I nodded.

“There’s a Hallmark moment for you.”

I laughed.

I drove Jake back to his truck after dinner and kissed him goodbye. Even though he hadn’t noticed, I’d seen Sage slip into the back seat in cat form. Once I was back in my Volkswagen, I said, “Why don’t you shift and join me up here.”

“Good idea.” He leaped from the back seat into the front seat with ease, and then shifted. “I felt the need to tag along and keep watch on you.”

“After today, I’m okay with that.”

“Do you mind if we stop at the store?” Sage asked. “I’d like to pick up a few things.”

“Which store?” Not like there were a lot of options.

“The pet store, of course.”

“Oh, so you’re going to pick out your own cat food?”

“Yes. I prefer ocean fish and rice.”

That struck me as funny. I drove down Main Street and parked in front of Pet Palace. This should be interesting.

We entered the store, and Jasmine, the owner’s Bengal, came out to greet us. “Hello, beautiful.” Sage rubbed her ears, making her purr.

I grabbed a cart while Sage communed with Jasmine. He met me in the food aisle and picked out several bags of dry food. “You don’t want any canned food?” That’s what I fed Pumpkin and Marshmallow for breakfast. Dinner was dry food.

“It’s a little-known fact that if you add water to dry food and wait, it softens up. I enjoy that every once in a while.”

“Okay.” I glanced around the store. “What else do you need?”

“A bed.” He walked over to the section with all the pillows and some that looked like couches and beds for dolls.
