Concerns and Cousins

“It was nice that you could get away from your case for a little while,” Josie said.

“We needed to grab lunch anyway,” said Heather. “And we wanted to make sure that everything was all right.”

Heather and Amy were now seated at a table at J+J’s restaurant. Josie and Sabella were there, along with Josh and Jamie. There was always good food to be had at their restaurant, and since it was down the street from Donut Delights, they could grab some Tangerine Dream Donuts after the meal if they were so inclined.

“Of course everything is all right,” Sabella said coolly. “I was just feeling tired earlier. The same way a new mother might.”

“Sabella, you said that you would keep an open mind.” Josie pouted.

“I didn’t say anything about the adoption,” Sabella pointed out and then began eating her meal.

Heather and Amy started eating as well. Hey had to make their lunch quick, but they were hoping that meeting with their friends might show an improvement in matters from the last time they met.

“Sabella is just trying to be helpful,” Josh said. “Because she cares about us.”

Heather paused with her fork halfway up to her mouth. That seemed like a strange thing for Josh to say. While he was a good guy, he was often swayed by his emotions, especially his temper. Normally, he wouldn’t have liked a comment like that from Sabella.

She tried to ignore that and continue eating. To change the subject, she brought up how Amy and Jamie had officially become engaged.

“That’s wonderful news,” Sabella said.

“We’re pretty excited about it,” Amy said.

“And we’ll be sure to invite you,” said Jamie.

“Thanks,” said Sabella. “Have you made any decisions about when it might be? Or where?”

“Well, um…” Amy and Jamie sputtered. The truth was that they were dragging their feet about making decisions. They did truly love each other, but they were slow about making big changes.

“We don’t want to rush into anything,” Amy said finally.

“That’s right. We want it to be perfect,” said Jamie.

“Interesting,” Sabella said. “That seems to be the exact opposite approach to what my cousin and her husband like to do.”

“Well, to each their own,” Amy said awkwardly.

Jamie looked at Josh helplessly. He was his best friend, and he didn’t mean to get him into trouble with his in-laws.

Heather decided it was time to change the topic of conversation again and said, “Jamie, you might be able to help us with our case.”

“Really?” Jamie asked gratefully. Heather wasn’t sure if it was because of how much he enjoyed assisting with cases or that he was happy to talk about something new.

“The mayor’s dog was taken. When you go out on your grooming rounds, maybe you could keep an eye out for him. It’s possible that the dognapper might have to take the dog outside.”

“I’d be happy to,” said Jamie. “And I’ll see if anything seems out of place near the dog park just in case.”

“How are things going with your case?” asked Sabella. “Did
