He wondered at the look on her face when he grabbed her hand and led her out of the office. He knew they had an odd relationship, one that had taken a turn a few years back, and yet it, seemed to be coming back around again. He wasn’t sure how he felt about it. And neither was he sure how he felt about moving back here. Now that thought tantalized him at the edges of his mind, making him consider if that was really what he was supposed to do. Not that Holly couldn’t practice as a vet elsewhere, but he was the one without a home, while she had a home, her clinic, her staff …

It was almost like Badger had called it. Zane wanted to send him a text and tell him how he hated him for it, but, of course, that wasn’t the truth. If this opened up to something beautiful, then maybe he owed Badger something extra for it. But it was hard to see anything in front of him right now. Things were a mess. Although he’d found Katch, they’d found the dog in very difficult circumstances, and it certainly wasn’t an ideal start for the dog’s new civilian life.

But Zane didn’t know what he was supposed to do about it. This War Dogs assignment was up for interpretation, based on the individual handling each file. It wasn’t like the government, Commander Cross or even Badger had given Zane strict parameters to work from. Hell, there were none at all. It was a case of check to make sure the dog was having a decent life. If not, then what? It seemed like Ethan had settled in with the dogs he had saved, turning it into a new business for him. Of course in Pierce’s case, he’d reunited the dog to its owner. But, in this case, there didn’t appear to be an owner. There’d been an adoptive family originally, but Katch never made it there. And that had been months ago. He’d likely been handed off to the wrong people over and over.

A part of Zane said Holly was the right person to take care of Katch, but could she handle the dog? It was one thing to deal with a large shepherd when it was sedated on your operating table or drugged in your clinic, but it was an entirely different thing to have a shepherd that big and wild and free in your backyard who didn’t want to listen to your orders. And a one-hundred-pound woman walking a two-hundred-pound dog on a leash? Forget about it.

He sighed and stopped at his truck at the passenger’s side. “I’ll bring you back at midnight, so we might as well take the one vehicle home.”

She shook her head. “No, I’ll drive.”

“You’re too tired,” he said, his voice stalwart.

She glared at him.

He grinned. “I know you want to be stubborn,” he said, “but let’s not take it too far.” He watched as her shoulders sagged, and he could see the fatigue settling in deeper.
