Dozer slips back into a comfortable sleep as Tripp caresses his cheek.

"I am sure your vet will know as much, but he should stay here for a couple of days. That kind of emotional agitation can take a toll on a dog. This boy is in for a tough ride."

“How’s the pup?” Scotty pokes his head in.

“Sleeping,” Lizzie replies. “Dr. Tom says he’s going to be alright.”

“Great news.” Scotty takes off his baseball cap and scratches his head. “Couldn’t find the snake. That’s the first rattler on the property in years. We’d better watch out and not use Field C until it’s cleared.”

“Good idea,” Lizzie says.

“Three o’clock, better go. The mechanic for the mower will be here any minute.” Scotty bows his head and slips away.

“Three o’clock?” Tripp looks at his watch, gasps, and immediately changes aspect. He pulls down his shirt to straighten it and runs his hands along the sides of his hair, smoothing it back into a perfect coif.

He grumbles, "I’ve got to get to the meeting or Rebecca will kill me." He marches down the hallway, his footsteps echoing like an angry school teacher.

I watch him go, the back of him giving no sign of the kind man I've been getting to know. He's all business now. But I'm not going to lie, he's awfully cute in those jeans…

Suddenly, Lizzie stands in front of me, blocking my view.

"I know that look!" she says.

"What look?" I ask, doing my best I’m innocent look. “I was just impressed by his magical touch.”

“Magical touch, huh?”

“On the dog.”

Lizzie sighs, "Darling, I have seen it all. More than that, I've lived this very story."

"Lived it?" My stomach is doing a funny, twisty thing.

Lizzie tilts her head. "That was me for years. I watched the man of my dreams from afar, never believing that he and I would ever become an item. Years, it took me, Anne Marie. Years. And what I hadn't done was admit to myself that… I had feelings."

"You've got me all wrong," I say to Lizzie, with an uncomfortable giggle. "It's just, he's the first celebrity I've gotten to know personally like this. It's just about the dogs. It's just about the job. That's why we're going to have a very professional non-date tomorrow."

A professional non-date? Why did I have to say that out loud?

“Just be careful, Anne Marie.” Lizzie reaches out and touches my arm.

She's right. She's really, really right. I've been thinking only of myself and not the Chateau Rose and the Dog's Paw. This is about something bigger than me. The globally awesome dog show is a massive opportunity and it better not be because of Anne Marie Taylor that they all end up in hot water.
