Work was one thing that kept my mind off missing Max and the constant concern over Rolf. The man had been too quiet. I suspected he was biding his time to drag out the torture. I’d even called one of the cops I knew and discussed the situation with him. Unless DK was willing to press charges, they really couldn’t do anything. His advice had been to be careful and call if he showed up.

That sat there on the back-burner in my mind like a rancid kettle of lamb stew. Sadly, I didn’t even have Max there to help ease the disquiet.

He and the Railers were resting, ready for the first two games of the conference championship against Florida. Thankfully they were starting at home, but we didn’t meet up. We talked as often as work, practice, and the press corps would allow. The media pressure was insane. So far, I’d managed to stay out of the limelight, and that was okay. I’d only seen my name linked with him once on a small sports blog DK had pointed out to me.

I had no issue with being seen at his side. I’d come out long ago. I’d been married and openly run Crossroads with Liam. So, the thought of cameras in my face was nothing that worried me. It was just the intensity of the media and the fans as the teams battled to the final round. Some of the stuff I read online aimed at the players horrified me. And the vile hatred thrown at Tennant Rowe because he loved a man saddened me deeply. I would never understand how those who claimed they were children of Christ could warp the words of a man who preached love into such twisted hate.

The shelter had been inundated with new intakes. We now had so many kittens it was hard to find room for them all. Four dogs had been rescued, one in such bad shape there was no saving the starving little thing and our vet had kindly put him down. We had a little poodle mix who had been so dirty and matted we’d had to shave her down to the skin. She’d be a hard sell to people without her pretty brown curls, so that meant she’d be here for quite some time. I spent another hour after closing trying to make the money stretch far enough, but it just wasn’t happening.

“Dammit all.” I sighed, pushing back from my desk. My eyes were scratchy, my back stiff, and my heart heavy. We’d need to put on another major fundraiser to cover costs next month. Since we had so little cash in the coffers, I’d have to dip into my savings for some of the necessities, like advertising. Bucky wiggled up next to me, his blue eyes questioning. “I wish I’d been born rich instead of so damn good-looking.”

His tail wagged merrily at my joke.

“Let’s go check on Cocoa, then go home.”

Bucky raced to the office door then ran to the kennels.
