"Christine? You think Christine Canine would be a good assistant for me? After everything?" "Yeah, I do." Of course I knew what he was talking about. Christine had been a huge pain to Kelsey. She had challenged her and shouldn't be alive today. Only thanks to Kelsey's mercy and grace was she still breathing. "Give her a chance, Liam. The challenges, they changed her... some. Okay, she can still be a little annoying. She's called every day checking to see if you've made a decision yet, even while I was away. I just ignored them, but every day her nflashes across my phone." "So I'm supposed to take her, just so she'll stop bugging you?" I snorted.

"And you guys are okay with missing the festivities tonight? I mean, it is New Year's. Parties everywhere, even in the streets. It's kind of a big night to just curl up with swine and girl talk." "I'm not much into those parties. I have stayed hevery New Year's since I got here. Not interested. Especially not interested when I can't drink, and starting to feel like I waddle when I walk." "I can party anytime. This is more important, and it'll be fun!" They wouldn't even letdrive myself, insisting I leave my car at the office. It hitagain just how much I had let them down by my cowardice. The house smelled of delicious food when we opened the door. It made my mouth water.
Kelsey ran to the oven and, looking like Ms. Suzy Homemaker, she carefully removed a casserole. It looked picture perfect and smelled divine.
