Wrangling two dogs, who love to visit Oakside, isn't easy, but it's worth it for Easton. I stop in to see Lexi, who groans when we get to the door.

"How are you not more hungover?"

"Well, I knew I had a busy day today, so I stopped drinking at least four drinks, before you last night.”

"New girl’s night rule. Everyone has to drink as much as me." She says, as Noah walks in.

He goes over and rubs her shoulder.

"Fuck, that feels almost better than sex," she says, looking up at Noah, and they exchange a heated look.

"And that's my cue to leave. Make sure you lock the door." I say, taking Molly and Allie upstairs.

We get to Easton's room and find him on the couch, as both dogs run over to him and jump one on each side, begging for attention. A small smile crosses his face, as he pets them, looking up at me.

"I think I'm kind of jealous you have two ladies stealing all your attention." I joke.

"Come here." He holds out his hand.

I take it, and he pulls me down onto his lap, wrapping his arms around me.

"Much better." He whispers in my hair, as he gives the top of my head a kiss.

"I was going to suggest going out to the garden again, but it's supposed to rain soon, so maybe, we take a lazy day inside?" I suggest.

"That sounds perfect, but I need to talk to you about something first."

His tone is serious, and though I try to sit up to look into his face, he holds me tighter.

"Everything okay?" I ask.

"Noah came in, and he heard back from the cop, handling the case with the kitchen boy."

"Okay?"

"Well, they ran the guy’s fingerprints, and he had used a fake name. He's wanted for rape and murder in Atlanta."

I let that sink in. This could have been a lot worse than what it was. Molly knew, though. She knew something was wrong, and she tried to tell us.

"Come here, Molly," I say, and she half climbs into my lap, as I start rubbing her neck and back. "You’re such a good girl. You knew something was up with him and tried to tell us. I’m so proud of you, and I’ll never doubt you again."

Easton reaches over and pets her, too.

"I know it's a pain to bring two dogs, but I don't want you alone again. Promise me, you’ll always have Molly with you," he says.

"I promise, though even before this, I can count on one hand the amount of time I've been without her. She may not be my service dog, but she’s a service dog that gets special treatment to be anywhere I am."

"Good. Now, what movie do you want to watch?"

We flip through what’s on TV and end on How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. We watched this together not too long before he left, and I know he won't admit it, but I'm pretty sure he loves the movie, as much as I do.
