Matt turned, his gaze drifting down the curb until he spotted Vic’s car. ::When did you get here?::he asked with another yawn. ::I didn’t even hear you pull up.::


Those full lips of his pulled down into a pretty pout. ::I am not.::Beside him, the bush began to shake and Matt tugged on the leash, his attention easily diverted. “Sadie, get out of there, will you? Sadie!”


As Vic climbed out of the car, the sound of his door slamming caught the dog’s interest and she burst from the undergrowth with a raucous bark. “Sadie!” Matt admonished. He let her tug on her leash, releasing the retractable lead to its full length.


She strained at it a moment before Vic came close enough for her to paw at his legs. He scratched behind her ear. “Someone missed me.”


“Make that two.” Matt reached out and snagged the front of Vic’s jacket, pulling him in for a slow, lingering kiss. Against Vic’s mouth, Matt murmured, “Dinner, shower, and me…what am I forgetting?”
