Jonah never would’ve believed a knock on his front door could instill so much suspicion in him. He creeped toward the door, wishing he had a baseball bat or anything. There was no one who would come see him any longer. He opened the door a crack. Happiness exploded through him and Jonah threw the door wide.

“Driver!”

While wearing a bright smile, Driver pulled open the screen door and led his dog Sam inside. Driver had lived across the street from Jonah for months before marrying the only person to ever steal his heart. Jonah was happy for him, but he also missed Driver like crazy.

“Hey, babe. We had to come check on the house since we have a tenant moving in at the end of the week. Sam saw your house and went crazy. There was no way he was leaving without seeing you.”

“I’m so glad you made Daddy stay long enough to see me. I’ve missed you both so much.” He gave Sam a huge hug before letting him run free through the house. “Where’s Cortland?” Jonah asked as he came to his feet.

“He had to…” Driver’s gaze moved over Jonah’s shoulder. “Go put that back.”

Jonah turned to find Sam dragging Cricket’s doggie bed into the living room. “Oh, buddy. I’m sorry.” Jonah moved to retrieve the large weighted pillow Cricket had used as a bed from Sam. He rubbed the dog’s head as he tossed the pillow back into the kitchen. “Cricket is gone, baby.” His voice cracked. He swallowed, but no more words would come. Even Jonah realized he looked like he was drowning on dry land.

Driver moved closer. “What happened?”

Jonah swallowed again. He kept his gaze averted until the burning behind his eyes and nose subsided. “The vet said pancreatitis. A clot formed and went to his brain before anyone could do anything.”

To his surprise, Driver rubbed his back. “I’m so sorry. You should’ve called. Cortland and I would’ve been here in a heartbeat.” The large former soldier had a lot of dark points. Jonah understood that Driver had some mental problems, but he’d always really liked Driver. Since meeting the man’s husband, Cortland, Jonah had found another good friend.

“I’m just, you know…” Jonah waved his hands, searching for a way to explain. “I guess I’m just private, or maybe I think I over burden people. Hell, I don’t know. It’s like, no one likes a negative person and people already don’t like me for me, so I suffer in silence,” Jonah finished lamely. He didn’t know how to explain how he felt like no one cared enough to be bothered with him.

“Pack a bag and come home with us.”

A smile briefly passed over Jonah’s lips at the offer. “I can’t. I accepted a date for tonight that I can’t afford to miss. Cricket’s final vet bill and expenses crippled me.”

Driver swiped his hand through the air. “Wait. I can’t believe John didn’t pay for all that. He’s never hesitated to cover things in the past.
