Bab 93: Chapter 93

Bitsy's smile disappeared when she saw I didn't have Don Gato and her lips started quivering. Jon looked resigned.

"He's at the vet, Bitsy. They think he has an infection and they're keeping him overnight for fluids and medicine." I turned to Jon so he would understand. "Reed gave me a ride to the vet's office."

Jon's eyes narrowed. "Is he paying for it?"

I looked back at Bitsy and smiled at her. "No, the doctor said he would take the bunny money as payment in full." If I was going to start a lifetime of lying, I might as well make it good.

There was no chance Jon believed me, but he would keep quiet with Bitsy within earshot.

I only had to go to the community college once a week because I used a computer at the library and took most of the course online. It was easier to work around my schedule this way. I turned in my assignment, did my lab, and walked outside to catch the bus.
