Missy was stuffed. So pleasantly full that if she was home, she would have popped the button of her jeans and let her soft stomach expand how it wanted too. But she definitely wasnât home, and she was also wearing overalls, so she contented herself with sitting back in her chair and waiting for a pause where she could exit.
The conversation during the rest of the meal had been fairly innocuous, with Bart sending her grateful or exasperated looks over the table at appropriate times. She was glad that she was there for him; her presence seemed to make him more comfortable for some reason. Maybe it was because he didnât have to pretend with her. Sheâd seen him at his absolute worst, and it hadnât scared her off.
He would have to do something purposely bad to her to do that. Once, when she was seventeen, she had come across a desert owl caught up in some discarded tangle of plastic, most likely something left over from the temporary barriers set up for the townâs yearly marathon. Sheâd only had her car keys on her, but she had dutifully worked to free the guy.
He wasnât happy, and she couldnât really blame him. He was in a compromising position, and she was a big olâ predator. He had tried to attack her repeatedly, his claws cutting so deep into her arm that she ended up needing stitches. She still had the scars to this day, silvery little lines to remember him by.
So yeah, if he thought he was the first terrified creature fighting for his life that sheâd dealt with, he was wrong.
âThank you so much for the meal,â Missy said finally, pushing herself back from the table. âBut my little ones are probably wondering where I am.â
Mrs. Millerâs head rotated to look at her. âOh, you have children?â
Missy couldnât help it, she snorted at the absurdity of that idea. She was pretty sure that she was missing one of the vital steps in childbearing. Or basically all of them. âGoodness no. I mean my rescue animals.â
Mrs. Millerâs smile was a bit embarrassed. âOh, I see. Apologies for assuming.â
Missy waved it away with her hand. âDonât worry about it, I can see how my wording was confusing. I guess sometimes it feels like they are my children, hah.â
âNothing wrong with having compassion for Godâs loving creations.â Bartâs mother stood, wiping off her apron. The thing was quite pretty, and Missy couldnât help but wonder if the woman had made it herself.
âBartie, Bradley, would you mind clearing the table? Iâll walk our guest to her car.â
Bart looked startled at that. âUh, I can do that Ma. I invited her, after all.â
âNonsense,â Mrs. Miller said breezily. âItâs not often that I get to spend time with another lady.â She sniffed her nose dramatically. âItâs a wonder I donât go insane from all the testosterone around here, I tell ya.â
âSee,â Bradley hissed conspiratorially to his brother but loud enough for everyone to hear. âI told you she always wanted Bryant to be a girl.
