Chapter Ten

Wednesday…Kind of

The other shoe dropped about 5am when I woke from a deep sleep to the sound of growls and glass breaking.

“Oh, shit. Ohmigod. Don’t kill him.”

I’d ended up bringing the dogs home with me. They’d looked so sad when I’d opened the door to leave, and Johnny Castle was holding his leash in his mouth, looking at me expectantly. I couldn’t stand up under their scrutiny, so I’d gathered up all their supplies and put them in the back of the BMW. I wasn’t going to mention to Nick what happened to the headrest in the backseat. Apparently Johnny Castle’s medicine has some unfortunate side affects—like him wanting to eat everything in sight.

I hauled ass downstairs in one of Nick’s t-shirts and my panties, and I tripped on the bottom stair and went down hard, bashing my knee against the hardwood floor. It was pitch black except for the nightlight in the kitchen.

“Johnny Castle! Baby! No!”

I heard Nick’s swears and the click-clack of claws against the floors and then a yelp as they skidded to a stop. My knee throbbed and I reached up to turn on a light before carefully getting to my feet and putting my weight on my leg.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch.” I limped as quickly as I could toward the kitchen. Nick had come in through the garage door instead of the front.

“When did we get dogs?” Nick asked. His voice was calm, and I was pretty glad in that moment that he was trained not to panic. Because I could guarantee if our positions were reversed I’d be needing a diaper right about now.

“I meant to call you and warn you, but I fell asleep.”

Actually, I’d gotten in the Whirlpool and found a marathon of Designing Women on the TV. Three hours later I was pruny, I felt almost human, and I’d decided I wanted to be Julia Sugarbaker when I grew up. And I’d forgotten all about calling Nick to warn him about the dogs once I slid beneath the sheets.

“These are Rosemarie’s dogs. There wasn’t anyone to take care of them after she got arrested.”

“So you volunteered?”

“I kind of promised her. She caught me at a weak moment and she was kind of losing her mind because of the whole peeing in front of people thing.”

“What’s the big deal?”

“Only a man would say that. Believe me, going to the bathroom in front of others is a very big deal to women. We don’t even like the people in the stall next to us to hear what’s going on. A girl learns early on how to covert pee.”

“I don’t even want to know what you’re talking about. Can we get back to how we’ve ended up with two dogs that won’t let me in my own home?”

I flipped on the overhead light in the kitchen and saw Nick was still pressed against the door. His weapon was out but relaxed at his side now that the dogs had stopped their attack. They sat
