“A hum started in her throat.
Happy waited for her at the door as usual.
She bent to hug Happy—she wanted to hug everyone today—before letting Happy scamper out like she was a puppy.

“Your pants are ringing.” She dumped the pants on his chest then snapped around to leave.
“’Morning to you, too,” he said, laughter in his voice.MoreLess
