章 75: Chapter 75

“I love you,” Kaos whispered against Padraig’s mouth, then pecked him on the lips and stepped back.

“Love you too, sweetheart.” A knock sounded from the door between the clinic and the shop, and Athena, who was in for an extra shift to help at the shop in the afternoon, called to him. “I got to go. Have fun!”

Padraig turned to go, and Kaos sneakily squeezed his ass and winked at him when he looked over his shoulder. Athena smirked wickedly at his blush, then assisted him in giving a very large Maine Coon an ultrasound.

In the afternoon, sisters Erin and Evy Peters—one of the deputies and a local therapist respectively—came to take over some of the work. They brought goodies, because while Leah and Stuart couldn’t leave the diner, they’d sent some food for those who stayed behind, finishing up the shop. They had all worked through lunchtime, so Padraig and Athena joined Kaos, Makai, Emil, Francis, and the sisters in the front for snacks.
