Chapter 10

The next few days flew by and Daisy felt herself completely distracted. She walked outside in the rain carelessly one afternoon without a jacket or umbrella, simply because she thought she might take in a bit of sunshine. Another day, she was entering in payments on an excel file and forgot to save it – after she’d shredded the information, both of which were absolute no-no’s in running a business. This morning she’d made cookies for the group this afternoon and burnt her hand on the pan. Carelessly, she’d reached right in without a mitt since she’d been thinking of Ethan’s dark eyes just before he kissed her. The double chocolate chunk cookie batter reminded her of that same mocha color of his eyes.

Daisy knew she’d see him at group tonight and would do her best to play things cool. She didn’t want anyone to know that she was seeing someone there, nor was she sure how they’d handle it. Part of her wanted to call off and cancel dinner tomorrow night with Ethan but she knew that would never happen. She was anxiously awaiting it and had picked out her outfit two nights ago – steaming it free of wrinkles twice in anticipation.

It was getting a little warmer now that they were past February. From here on, the weather in East Texas would get significantly warmer, allowing her to wear flowy dresses when they went out, or light-colored slacks. Part of her was a little nervous at wearing a dress in front of Ethan. He was so sensitive about his leg that she wondered how he would react to seeing her prosthetics. People’s initial reaction was usually a mix of surprise, pity, and curiosity. She used to volunteer the information but then realized that the only person it affected was her. It brought up the memories of those first days trying to learn how to walk again and the soreness that came with trying on the prosthetics for the first time.

Walking into the kitchen, she filled the bowls for the dogs before letting them out of their kennels. She hated to crate them at night but having so many animals running loose in the house proved to be more damaging for her and the dogs. They kept emptying the trash can and she would find the debris scattered around the house; they chewed on cords, and one ate drywall, leaving gaping holes overnight. Oh yes, having a variety of dogs taught her quite a lesson in how best to live in harmony.

Even Slobbers had been crated at night. It was too hazardous to her to have him loose because he’d earned his name quite literally. She’d slipped in a puddle of drool one morning and landed face first on the floor, nearly knocking herself out. Even with all of those thoughts, she missed him quite a bit sometimes.

There was nothing like your first pet and she would always remember him, part of the reason she’d set up Shamrock. When she’d found out about Slobber’s cancer, she’d been devastated.
