“Oh, I can’t. I’m sorry. I’m with Ken right now. It’s our second date this week,” she couldn’t help revealing. Her happiness was palpable and Jane knew she couldn’t bring her friend down, not when she’d had so little of it in her life.

“That’s great. I’m sorry I interrupted you.”

“No… never apologize for calling. You know I love to hear from you.”

“I don’t want to keep you, do you think you could meet me tomorrow?”

“Sure, I’ll swing by the house after work? Say five o’clock?”

“No, I’d prefer we go somewhere. I’ll probably have Loki with me. He was sick last night but getting better today.”

“Oh no. What happened to him?”

“We’re not sure. He seemed to have eaten something that was toxic to him. I think it’s coming out of his system though. He certainly seems much better this morning.”

“Well, that’s a relief. Poor little guy.” She thought for a moment. “How about Silver Lake Dog Park? It’s near where I live so I can get there pretty fast. Will that work?”

“That’ll be perfect. I’ll see you then.”

They signed off as Jane spent the rest of her day feeling sick to her stomach, searching the internet for whatever mention she could find of Logan and his mysterious date.
