I want you to promise me the same. Don't ever make a deal like that, all right?" He'd taken the chance on letting her in to his heart and life. It'd been a risk and well worth it in the end, for the love and happiness he felt everytime he looked at her. But if he lost her again, he wasn't sure if the broken heart was something he could bounce back from.
He glanced over at the tray and gave her hip a pat. "Just one moment," he told her and got up off the bed, reaching over to grab the tray. Reb's ears drooped as he realized he wouldn't be getting a free human meal after all. Grunting his dismay, he got up, circled three times, and flopped back down at Cathy's feet with a dramatic sigh.
Lindsey dropped the tray off on the counter in the kitchen and returned, falling back onto the bed and resuming his previous position just in time to get a kiss. He had almost lost this a day earlier. "I really missed you too," he replied softly. He'd been terrified, angry, horrified all in the space of four days and now, he wanted nothing more than to hold on her and reassure himself that she was there beside him.
