Chapter 41

“Yes.”

Patrick got up to his knees and made his way over to my side of the tent. “I’ll come as close as you want.” He settled with a bit of space between us. “Hey. I never got to see my portrait, the drawing you did.”

“Oh, yeah.”

“Will you show me?”

“Sure, as long as your expectations aren’t too high.”

“Well, how much can you do with this?” Patrick waved his hand in front of his face.

“Quite a bit, if given the opportunity.” I rolled my eyes. Man, I was dumb. Then, I was wet. A stream of water ran down the split of my ass. “Uh oh. We have a leak.” I also needed to pull my shorts up in back.

“Slide closer.” Patrick shifted all the way to his right.

Wilbur was willing. He got on Patrick’s lap.

“That fear of cats doesn’t extend to small dogs, does it?” I asked.

“No. He’s as adorable as his daddy.”

When I sidled up, right against Patrick, Wilbur settled partly on him and partly on me. “There. Nice and dry.”

“Your pad didn’t get wet, did it?” Patrick asked.
