He nodded curtly and opened the door wider, his face impassive.
Eli crowded closer to her side, obviously picking up on the awkward tension in the room as the two of them stepped inside, but when Bear padded across the room, his tail wagging gaily, Eli looked up at her with awe.
“Can I pet him?”
“He’s good with children, isn’t he, Dr. McLaren?”
Another curt nod.
