“I kinda like this human of yours, Max,” Clarice grunted. “If you’re tired with her, I just might adopt her for my own.”
“No way,” I said. “Odelia is mine.”
“Hah,” said Clarice with a sly grin. “I knew you’d say that.”
“Max!” Dooley shouted. “Pussy likes naps, and I like naps, too! How about that!”
“God,” said Clarice, shaking her head. “This is torture.”
“And I hate getting wet and Dooley hates getting wet, too!” Pussy said.
“And guess what? There’s something else we have in common!” Dooley said.
“Yeah, we both like you, Max!” Pussy said.
“We love you, buddy!” said Dooley.
I held up my paw. Somehow I’d suddenly lost my voice.
I swiped at my eyes. Tears, you ask? Nah. Just a speck of dust. In both eyes.

About Nic
Nic Saint is the pen name for writing couple Nick and Nicole Saint. They’ve penned novels in the romance, cat sleuth, middle grade, suspense, comedy and cozy mystery genres. Nicole has a background in accounting and Nick in political science and before being struck by the writing bug the Saints worked odd jobs around the world (including massage therapist in Mexico, gardener in Italy, restaurant manager in India, and Berlitz teacher in Belgium).
When they’re not writing they enjoy Christmas-themed Hallmark movies (whether it’s Christmas or not), all manner of pastry, comic books, a daily dose of yoga (to limber up those limbs), and spoiling their big red tomcat Tommy.
