Wednesday @ 6pm, Rosemary & Thyme?

She seems perfect for you! Promise this one won’t make you jog in the rain.

ASHER

No promises I won’t find another stray to rescue.

ISLA

Mochi just destroyed another one of my throw pillows.

ASHER

He’s expressing his artistic side

ISLA

His artistic side cost me $40 in pillows!

ASHER

BTW, don’t forget the training session on Thursday.

ISLA

Ok.

My shoulder actually feels a little better, btw. Thanks.

ASHER

Told Dad about the Senior and Adaptive Program today. He didn’t hate it. The launch event is happening in three weeks.

ISLA

That’s amazing! I’m translating “didn’t hate it” as “secretly proud.” I’d love to help with the launch!

ASHER

Thanks, Is.

Did you finish reading “Burning For You?”

ISLA

. . . no idea what you mean.

ASHER

The one with the firefighter on the cover.

I read it btw.

ISLA

ASHER
