Chapter Fifteen

That Thursday, after Trent had finished work, he walked up the path to his brother’s house, sucking in a huge lungful of the floral-scented air. The yard had two big wattle trees, adorned with thousands of fluffy yellow blossoms, and they’d been here ever since the house belonged to their grandparents. These days, Jace lived with his wife, Angie, and their brood of adorable puppies.

And yes, brood was the right word. Anyone masochistic enough to adopt four puppies at once deserved a medal.

When Trent jabbed at the doorbell, the house erupted in tiny, high-pitched yaps. A second later, the front door swung open and Jace stood there, surrounded by black furballs.

“Hey, come in.” He held the door open. Today Jace was wearing a T-shirt with a drawing from one of his comics—Big Adventures, Little Dogs—on the front. “Don’t mind the furry army.”

One of the little black cockapoo puppies slapped her paws up onto Trent’s legs. He bent down to scoop up the little thing, which was a mistake. Because the rest of them descended, yipping and licking and begging for attention. They were all females, named after the romantic leads in the nineties rom-coms that Jace’s wife loved—Drew, Meg, Alicia, and Sandra, Sandy for short.

“Four dogs, bro. Really?”

Jace laughed. “Are you going to say that every time you come to visit? We’ve had them more than six months now.”

“And I still cannot believe my brother, Mr. Routine, adopted four bloody dogs.” Trent stood and followed his brother farther into the house, the pups trailing behind them like ducklings.

Jace’s house was neat as a pin, as usual. He was the kind of guy who had a place for everything and hated to see things out of order. Even with the furry army.

“Hey, Trent.” Angie came out from the kitchen and pulled him in for a hug. She was still in her uniform from the Patterson’s Bluff nursing home where she worked as a day manager and event planner. “So nice to see you. Are you staying for dinner?”

“No, I just came to drop off my laptop. Jace said he’d take a look at it again for me.”

Jace rolled his eyes. “What I said was you need to replace this hunk of crap because it’s old and I can’t do much for it now.”

“Ah, but not being able to do much implies you can do something.” Trent stuck his finger into the air. “Right?”

“I’ll take a look at it.” Jace grumbled as he took the silver beast from Trent’s hands and stashed it on the coffee table. “But no promises.”

“How’s work?” Trent asked Angie.

“Good, busy.” She planted a hand on her hip. “I swear the residents there keep me on my toes. We’re getting ready to run our second phase of the learning program, and I’ve been getting suggestions left, right, and center for what type of classes they want to see.”

Angie’s program was something she’d created while volunteering at the retirement home when she’d first come to live in Patterson’s Bluff.
