By the time she got home from work, Hallie was just overall upset with how the day had gone.

She hadn’t been able to reach Bill to apologize, and she had no idea if he was going to sue the shelter, which would be a total disaster for everyone involved.

She also hated she’d gone off on Luc. True, he’d hurt her feelings, but he hadn’t meant to, and she could have addressed it better. She could have done everything better, but unfortunately, she, like anyone, had bad days, and there wasn’t anything she could do about it.

Other than figure out how to make it right.

There was still light outside when she arrived home, and when she parked, she got out of her car and just leaned against it for a moment, enjoying the evening glow on the large hedge of bushes in front of her house.

She caught movement out of the corner of her eye and saw a man getting out of a parked car and walking toward her. She relaxed some when she realized it was Bill. Maybe he’d gotten her messages and had come to talk to her.

He’d always seemed like a reasonable, even friendly, person, and she didn’t want today to jeopardize their working relationship.

She knew Luc would be offended, but long after he decided to do whatever he wanted, she would still be here, taking care of the shelter. After all, Luc had never made any forever promises. It would be stupid to after knowing each other such a short time.

She sighed and walked toward Bill. She frowned as she saw the look on his face. A bit red, mercurial, his eyes glaring. He backed her up in the direction of her house, and she was in front of her car again.

He folded his arms as he stared down at her, not appearing as he ever had before. “Do you want to explain what happened today? What your boyfriend did?”

“He’s not my boyfriend,” she muttered. “He’s an employee who just happens to really care about the animals, and I don’t know what upset him today. He’s never like that.” She gave him a polite smile. “But I’m really, really sorry, and on behalf of the shelter, I’d love to know if there is anything I could do to make it up to you.”

He frowned, and then a dark smile curled the corners of his lips. “What did you have in mind?”

Not whatever he seemed to be thinking. Ugh. Maybe he wasn’t so nice after all. “I was thinking maybe a plaque on the wall that commends your donations. Or naming a room after you? Something that acknowledges everything you’ve done?”

He stalked forward, backing her up to the car until her back hit it. He looked her up and down, making her skin crawl. Why oh why had she chased Luc away?

He was turning out to be right about too many things. Still, why had none of this happened before?

“Why don’t you acknowledge everything I’ve done?” Bill said creepily, curling his lip as he got even closer.
