“I hope they like Bobo. He’s got some big paws on him. I’m thinking he’ll get to fifty or sixty pounds.”
He closed his eyes and groaned. “We’re not calling the dog Bobo.”
“Muffin?”
“It’s a boy, Willow. Can he have a little dignity? What about Blackie?”
“Oh, that’s original. I’m thinking he looks like a Stan.”
Kane groaned.
Willow curled up in his arms. “We’re going to need a bigger house. Not that I don’t love Todd, but do we have to live that close?”
“We’ll move. And since when do you love Todd?”
“It’s family love. Don’t worry. He’s not a threat.”
“Good to know. We’ll buy a bigger house on its own lot.”
“With a yard,” she said.
“And a garden.”
“Ooh, yeah. A big garden. And a big bedroom, because we’ll be spending lots of time in it.”
“I like the way you think.” He stared into her eyes. “I love you, Willow. You’ve changed everything for me.”
“I rescued you.” She grinned. “Although I’m retired now. The world will have to get by without my rescuing skills. Except for plants and pets. We’re going to have kids, right?”
He began unbuttoning her blouse. “Of course.”
“As many as I want?”
“You’re the one who has to carry them.” He removed her blouse.
She glanced over his shoulder and saw Stan had collapsed on a cushion by the sofa.
“We’ll have to be very quiet,” she whispered.
Kane stood, then picked her up in his arms and carried her down the hall. “I was thinking we’d just leave the room.”
“That works, too.”
