8.

Raul balanced the pizza on one hand and hefted the grocery bags up out of the floorboard with his other hand. Given that he was crashing at Miranda’s so much, he figured it was only fair that he chip in with the groceries.

He made it up the patio without incident and by the time he reached the back door, Miranda had it open for him. He had to pause for a moment to take her in. Nearly every night was like this—he’d show up, half expecting her to brush him off, but instead that dazzling smile reeled him in all over again.

“Hey, handsome.” She smiled and stepped back.

“Evening, beautiful.”

“Need a hand? What’cha got there?”

“Contributions to the kitchen. I finished off the creamer and milk after you left for work.” He set it all on the large island while she started peering into bags.

“Anything else need to be put away right now?” she asked.

He paused, parsing out the notes of excitement in her voice.

“What happened today?” He scrambled to recall any scrap of conversation that might give him a better idea.

“This it?” She stashed the few refrigerated items and tossed the bags into recycling.

“What’s up with you?” He stepped in closer, backing her up against the fridge.

Miranda bit her lower lip, eyes sparkling with a barely-contained secret.

“Come here.” She wrapped her fingers around his hand and led him into her office. “I wanted to have more to show you, but I barely beat you home. Sit.”

He did as she asked and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his lap. A week ago she would have yelped and tried to get away. Now she shifted until she was comfortable and reached for the mouse. Progress.

“I did a thing,” she said.

“What thing?”

“This thing.” She maximized a window showing a modern waterfront building with well-manicured hedges and a lawn that stretched out to a stone railing.

“What is it?” The property was...expensive looking. Out of a movie or a magazine.

“It’s the Beachcomber. That property you sent me the brochure for? It’s sort of like an upscale civic center, event space thing.”

“Okay.”

“And I was thinking...it would be perfect for a fancy fundraiser. Like we talked about.”

“That’s amazing.”

“Isn’t it?” She glanced down at him, her wide smile making everything in his chest tight. “There’s this great covered patio area where you could set up some kennels, maybe have a playpen sort of area. Then, inside, there’s some really nice space to do cocktails and other stuff.”

He could listen to her talk all night. Her zeal for planning and getting the vision across was uncanny. Listening to her speak made him want to join in, and he’d started the damn rescue.

“Someday, we’ll get there.” He rubbed her back. It’d be great to put her plans into action. Someday.

“That’s...sort of the other thing...” She glanced from the screen back to him.

“What?”

“There’s an opening in their schedule in four weeks. It’s usually booked up six to eight months, a lot of times even longer.”

“That’s nice, but what’s a place like this cost?”

“I did a thing, remember?”

He froze.
