“Not at all.” Kyle pulled off his wet shirt and walked over to the laundry basket on the bed full of clean clothes.
Katie didn’t take her eyes off him as he pulled the new shirt over his head.
“What?” Kyle said.
“Oh, nothing,” Katie said with a smile.
Kyle walked over and stood in front of Katie. “I’ve got a few things to finish up with the new pens, so I’ll probably be out back.” Then he leaned in and surprised her with a kiss. It wasn’t a long kiss, or a passionate kiss. It was just a kiss from a guy. The right guy.
When Katie finished her shower she dried her hair the best she could with a towel, and pulled on a pair of jeans and a shirt.
As she stepped through the front door she found Doc still sitting on the porch. The rain was gone and several rays of sun cascaded through the pines. She looked over at him, but he didn’t look back up at her.
“Doc?” she said. “Everything okay?”
Without lifting his arm off the chair, he pointed. She looked down to see Kyle kneeling just off the side of the house. He was with one of Biscuit’s puppies. The all black one—the same one Katie had been holding that day she first saw King.
Surprisingly, the dog sat still for a moment as Kyle placed his hand over its small chest. Then the little dog squirmed and started to bite at his finger.
Katie couldn’t help but smile because she knew that Kyle would find a way into his heart. Just as he’d found a way into hers.
