The following morning being Sunday, Devin as usual made blueberry pancakes for his and Kaitlin’s breakfast. She’d slept late, and he’d completed several pages on his current chapter, but now she was badgering him nonstop to call Bri about another kitten.

He had to admit that he didn’t mind having an excuse to call Bri, but he insisted they wait until after noon. He didn’t want to risk turning into a pest. Finally, though, the hour was advanced enough that he felt safe in placing the call. Bri answered on the second ring.

“Bri, this is Devin. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.”

She laughed. “I’m doing paperwork, and I never mind an interruption when I’m using a calculator. How are you and Kaitlin today?”

“I’m fine except for the fact that Kaitlin is about to drive me crazy. Seems Mr. Wheeler suggested she get a second kitten to keep Greybeard company, and she wants to know if you can spare another one.”

“Well, you can set her mind at ease right now. I’ll be glad for her to have another kitten. Did she have a specific one in mind?”

“No, and here’s the problem. She wants to come by and pick one out this afternoon. She’s terrified that someone else will get to them first and choose the one she would have wanted.”

Bri laughed again. “Believe it or not, I haven’t had people beating my door down and demanding to adopt a kitten. But bring Kaitlin by any time this afternoon and let her make her decision so she won’t continue to worry. Just be sure she’s dressed warmly. Even though the sun’s out today, it’s still cold and that means it will be chilly in the barn.”

“Thanks for the heads-up. Would forty-five minutes from now be convenient?”

“Just fine. I’ll see you then.”

Kaitlin was so excited at the prospect of seeing the kittens again, Devin had to practically sit on her to get her into her coat, cap, and mittens, but they were finally on their way. Bri had been right about the need to dress warmly. Perhaps because the clouds had already moved out, the temperature had dropped significantly, but Devin recalled from having grown up in this part of the country that weather conditions could change quickly.

Bri obviously had been watching for them because when he pulled up in front of the house, she stepped out onto the front porch already bundled up in a blue down jacket. He could tell by looking at the turned-up cuffs of her jeans that they were lined with plaid flannel, and she wore a knitted hat and leather gloves. Even with several layers of clothes hiding her curves, she looked great to him.

Grinning, she hurried down the wooden porch steps and out to greet them. She stood by while he got Kaitlin out of her car seat, then immediately gave Kaitlin her full attention as they walked toward the barn together.

“Yes,” she responded to one of Kaitlin’s questions, “I’ve been out to visit the kittens this morning.
