“What?” He jerked back, shocked at her words. “When?” He glanced around the room, not sure of what he expected to see. Seeing Louie at their feet, he turned back to her.

“It must have been while I was at work this morning.” She stepped away from him. Louie was begging for attention, so he knelt and gave him a few scratches and a hug.

“Are the other animals okay?” he asked, standing back up.

“Yes. My parents think that whoever did it killed DeWalt because he wasn’t caged. The old dog didn’t go anywhere. He hardly got off the porch.” She sighed. “I was just about to make some soup. Would you like something?”

“I’d love something. I was going to pick up Louie and then grab a burger.” He followed her back to the kitchen, his stomach growling loudly.

“I don’t have burgers, but I can do grilled cheese and soup.” She glanced back at him, pulling a can of soup down.

“I can help.” He took her shoulders and his eyes scanned her. She looked exhausted. “It’s the least I can do in return for you keeping Louie for me while I was gone.”

She nodded, and he could tell that she was too tired to argue with him.

“Sit.” He nodded to the table. He was pretty sure that if he nudged her, she’d fall over. “I’ll deal with this.” He started moving around the kitchen as she sat down. For a while, she watched him then she rested her forehead on the table as Louie started snoring at her feet.

Josh busied himself with making his favorite version of grilled cheese, adding tomato slices and some bacon she had in the fridge. She had little jars of spices and herbs and he mentally thought to remind her that fresh herbs were better. She had plenty of land. She should have a little garden for herself. He glanced out the window as he cooked, mentally plotting where in her backyard would be the best spot for a small garden.

When the food was done, he turned back to her. She was still resting her head on the table and he hated to wake her, but he knew she’d probably gone without eating since morning. One thing he remembered from working with her at the Golden Oar was that she hardly ever took lunch breaks.

“Here,” Josh said, jolting her from her light nap. She sat up, blinking and rubbing her eyes. “Grilled cheese.” He set a plate down in front of her, then set a bowl of tomato soup next to it.

“This isn’t grilled cheese.” She tilted her head. “It’s a piece of art.”

He chuckled and sat down across from her.

“A little bacon and spices, along with tomato slices.” He shrugged. “Dig in.”

She took her first bite and then sighed and closed her eyes in pleasure. He felt his body respond to the sounds she made.

“When you’re ready to tell me, what happened…” he hinted, trying to get his mind off of her sexy groans of happiness.
