Chapter 15

Ky’s meal arrived, and while he ate, he quizzed Adam about what was going on with him since they’d last talked. When everyone had finished eating, Adam paid the bill, including Ky’s, telling him it was the least he could do since Ky was going to help with the grocery shopping. He told Ky where they were going, and Ky said he’d meet them there.

“He’s a nice man,” Cole said as he and Adam walked to where they’d parked the van.

“Yeah, he is. A bit scary until you get to know him.”

Cole smiled. “Sort of like Bull. Big and fierce to look at, but with a heart of gold.”

“Exactly.”

“He’s as strong as a horse,” Cole said later that afternoon, while watching Ky hoist two fifty-pound bags of dog food into the van. “I hope Bull likes the turkey and oatmeal Ky chose.”

Adam winked at Ky, telling Cole, “I’m sure he will.”
