Morningstar Manor

Deacon had dropped Nia at the daycare and headed to the gallery to take Charlie to lunch. They'd opted for The Far Pavilions, getting a warm welcome from Raj and shown to their usual seat. Orders placed and a couple of beers in hand they waited on their food.

"So was Allan excited about that guy with the horses?"

Lee had taken Rhiannon this morning to a friend's house who had rescued a young, pregnant Japanese Spitz from a Amish puppy mill a few months ago. The dog had it's puppies not long after, all turned out healthy, and now Rhiannon carried a tiny, white, bundle of fur onto the Manor grounds that she had named Auggie.

Harvey, though excited to have a puppy, was pouting. "It's a girly dog," he said with both arms crossed. "I want something big and Badbutt. Like a Doberman or a Great Dane. Something that can eat people's heads."

"Why would you need to eat someone's head?" Rhiannon asked as she sat the puppy down in the grass to let it play. It pranced around and rolled on it's back for a belly rub, all friendliness, which made Rhiannon coo.

"Because sometimes people are bad," Harvey answered plainly and Lee followed that up with an "Mmmmhmmm. But a dog like that? Chick magnet, buddy."

Harvey's nose wrinkled. "Why would I want to attract a bunch of baby chickens?"

They'd cut out of work early to take advantage of the gorgeous weather, and now walked along the River. He was thinking of buying an ice cream cone before he had to head back to take Gram to her pilates class.

It was good being Irish on St Patrick's Day, but really bad the day after.

Robbie was looking pale and nauseated, his dark hair all ruffled up and a stubble covering his jaw, when he finally in late afternoon made it out of his apartment. He supported himself against the counter of the Mocha, and had to look away from all the doughnuts and cookies because just seeing the sweets made him feel worse. All he wanted was coffee. And after that, maybe pizza. If he could stomach it.

I've got a surprise. Come and see?
