Chapter 19

Dooley hadn’t stopped talking about the upcoming wedding of Gran and Wilbur Vickery since we left the park. It was clearly bugging him a great deal.

So finally instead of going to bed, I decided to suggest something else.

“Why don’t we go and spy on Gran’s date with Wilbur?” I said. “And then maybe you’ll see that there isn’t all that much to worry about.”

“Do you think that’s a good idea?” he said. “Gran won’t like it when we spy on her.”

“She’ll never know, Dooley. We’ll simply make sure she doesn’t see us.”

He looked in equal measure excited and terrified at the prospect of spying on our human, but finally his fear of becoming Kingman’s brother and having to go and live with Wilbur decided him.

“All right,” he said. “But only if you promise me that Gran won’t see us.”

“I promise, Dooley,” I said, even though it wasn’t really a promise I could make. Gran has eagle eyes, in spite of her age, and sometimes I think she even has eyes in the back of her head. Still, I wasn’t prepared to listen to Dooley go on and on all night about Gran’s wedding, and this seemed like a good plan to put his mind at ease once and for all.

So we left the others and set a course to downtown Hampton Cove, where we figured Wilbur would have taken Gran.

“I know they were going to see a movie,” said Dooley.

“So that’s where we’ll go first,” I said. “And we’ll see where they went next.”

And so it was arranged: we headed to the Happy Flix movie theater in town, and got there just in time to see people pouring out of the entrance, one of them Gran, and the other her date for the night, silver fox Wilbur Vickery. Though he looked more like a silver dog to me, but then I’m not a woman so what do I know.

We followed the couple as they strolled along the sidewalk, keeping our distance so as not to be noticed, and soon they plotted a course to the boardwalk, where all loved-up couples go when the moon is full and the night is young.

“I don’t like this, Max,” said Dooley. “This looks very romantic. Too romantic!”

He was right. All the couples I saw were holding hands, or seated on wooden benches overlooking the ocean and hugging and kissing and whatnot.

So maybe this wasn’t a good idea at all!

“They’re sitting down, Max!” said Dooley, pointing in the direction of the couple. They now looked as loved-up as the other couples in their vicinity, and I could sense that love was in the air, and soon sparks would fly and morals would get a little loosey-goosey!

“Maybe we should get going,” I said. “Nothing much to see here, just like I told you.”

“I think there’s plenty to see!” said Dooley. “Look, Max, they’re going to kiss!”

And indeed they were. Wilbur had his hands all over Dooley’s human, and was moving in for a kiss. And
