Kara said, “I did. And they don’t want me to leave town on the next train.”
“There are no trains in Mercy, but you knew that,” Candace said.
“Just good people.” Then I added, “And family.”
Candace pulled a bottle of champagne out of her bag. “I’m officially off duty, so this is okay.”
I smiled. “Time for a celebration. New homes for kittens, and a new home for Kara.”
Tom reached for my hand, and I tried again not to cry at the thought of how lucky I was to have these three people and my three wonderful cats in my life.
