“Ah, yes. The dog who can’t be alone.” Lex thought for a moment. “They’ve been fine up there, though, right? Penny hasn’t chewed or anything?”
I had checked on him a few times and he’d mostly just been sleeping. “He’s been fine… from what I can tell at least. I mean, I didn’t go inspecting your bedrooms and bathrooms and stuff.”
“Bedroom. Bathroom. Singular, unfortunately.”
It was a one-bedroom up there? For himself, that was fine. But what happened when he started bringing his daughter over? What happened when she stayed for the night? I forced myself to keep my mouth shut. I had helped Cam when Maddie was younger. We all had when his wife Hannah was sick and then after she died. But I didn’t know what it was like to raise a child. I’m sure lots of people made one-bedroom apartments work.
“What if I bring Frost over to your place and then she can keep him company while we go out?”
“He does seem to love that cat of yours.”
Lex scoffed at my statement. “Well of course he does. She’s anamazingcat.”
I laughed. “She is, she is.”
“So, tonight?”
I licked my lips slowly. “It’s a date.”
