"Goddamn you, Brynn Wolfe," I mutter through gritted teeth, picking up the box with the fucking cat inside and turning toward the door. "Come on, Gordon Ramsay. I guess we're going home."

"Daddy Sully and the bros" group chat

Leo:Do you guys know what happens to animals in shelters if they don't get adopted? They get killed.

Leo:Killed, guys...killed!

Roman:What the fuck?

Alex:Wait...

Alex:You guys didn't know this?

Roman:YOU DID?

Leo:How are you able to sleep at night knowing this information?

Alex:I don't know. I just try not to think about it, I guess.

Roman:That's cold.

Leo:The blood of those animals is on your hands, Wolfe.

Alex:WTF?

Roman:You know animals die, and you haven't adopted a single one.

Alex:Well, you guys know now, and I don't see you rushing to get a pet.

Leo:Actually...

Leo: *photo of cat*

Leo:Meet Gordon.

Alex:Is he missing a leg?

Roman:And an ear?

Leo:Yes to all of the above.

Roman:Where can I get one?

Chapter Sixteen

Brynn

Salem loves the cat.But unfortunately for Salem, the cat does not love her.

In Gordon's defense, he is only the size of a grapefruit and missing twenty-five percent of his limbs, so I'd probably be terrified of her too if I were him.

Besides, the girl can really rack up some speed when she's got her sights set on something. And God knows there's nothing in this world stronger than a toddler when they're gripping something they desperately want—which is exactly how Gordon almost lost his good ear.

Leo and I have, therefore, made the executive decision to keep him in my bedroom during Salem's waking hours, which, quite honestly, is a relief for me. Since I still don't trust Leo not to take him back to the shelter while I'm distracted. And best believe, I gave him hell when he returned from his first attempt at abandoning Gordon.

I even tried to get Alex on my side to rip him one too, but somehow, he ended up defending Leo instead. Something about it being his apartment and that I can't just bring animals into his home without asking, blah, blah, blah.

Anyway, I'm still mad about it, but I'm trying to be nice.
