Chapter Ten

* * *

Spencer walked into Kaylee’s playroom with his massive cat tucked snugly under his arm. The loyal grey and white feline purred like a motorboat, her tail wrapped around Spencer’s waist, the tip of it flicking lightly in the small of his back.

“Moose!” Kaylee jumped up, leaving her dolls behind, taking the cat, who seemed to be roughly half her size, into her arms.

“What is that?” Mattie’s brows rose as she watched Kaylee like a hawk.

“That, is Moose,” Spencer grinned. “She wanted to come see the girls. What are you doing up here anyway? You’re supposed to be resting,” he reminded her.

“She’s telling me that everything I do as a nanny is wrong, that’s what she’s doing,” Kumar teased.

“What?” Spencer pretended to be astonished. “Mattie being bossy? Say it isn’t so,” he ducked as she chucked a stuffed bunny at his head.

“No throw toys,” Kaylee’s eyes went wide.

“You’re right, baby doll. That wasn’t the right thing for me to do,” Mattie smiled at Kaylee, who went back to trying to put a bonnet on Moose, then turned a glare toward Spencer.

“Look who’s being the bad nanny now,” Kumar chuckled.

“Seriously though, why did you bring him in here?” Mattie looked suspiciously at Moose, ignoring the ribbing that she was getting from the two men.

“I brought her in here because the girls love her,” Spencer explained.

“You named a female cat Moose?” Mattie blinked at him.

“I didn’t know that she was female at the time, and she’s pretty big, so it made sense,” he shrugged.

“I bet Toffee and Bitsy hate that,” she mused, referring to Missy’s gentle golden retriever and spunky little maltipoo.

“You’d lose that bet. The ‘girls’ love Moose too. She and Bitsy wrestle sometimes, it’s pretty funny. Do you not like cats or something?” Spencer asked, wondering if that might be this fantastic woman’s one tragic flaw.

“I…I don’t know. I grew up around dogs. I thought only people who lived in the country had cats, you know, for like pest control or something,” she made a face.

“Well, this place is pretty remote, but no. People love cats as much as dogs. Normal people anyway,” he joked. “Moose isn’t much of a hunter, unless you count hunting around the house for a sunny spot to lay in.”

“I am fond of cats,” Kumar piped up and Mattie shot him a look. “What? I am. They can be quite affectionate.”

“She takes a while to warm up to people sometimes, but once she gets to know you, she’s really sweet. Do you want to meet her?” Spencer asked Mattie, who regarded the cat as one might regard a cockroach in their vanilla pudding.

“Uh…maybe later,” she chewed on the inside of her cheek.

“Cool,” Spencer nodded. “I’ll leave her here while I grab some lunch at my place, so that Kaylee and Jazzy can play with her,” he smiled as Moose rubbed her head underneath Jasmine’s chin.

“What if they’re allergic?” Mattie worried.

“They aren’t. They’ve played with Moose plenty of times,” Spencer assured her, heading for the door.
