to get married and have kids. She had spent the last fourteen years telling herself the exact opposite. And in one day, one good looking guy turned her beliefs upside down? But she knew it was way more than his looks. She thought back to the way he talked to Max, touched him, and the same way he looked at and touched her when she was crying at the river. She knew next to nothing about him, but he had made her feel more emotion than she had felt with a man in… well, forever.
    “Lace,” Sam whispered. “I wish I was there right now. You need so much more than your terrible best friend making you cry over the phone.”
    Lacey laughed. “Sam, I love you so much. You know I needed to hear all of that. Thank you for always being here for me, no matter what, and kicking me in the tail when I need it.”
    “So you’re going to see him tomorrow?”
    “He’ll be at the office when it opens, I’m sure.”
    “It sounds like he’s just as in to you as you were to him,” Sam mused. “So see what happens tomorrow. Don’t be quick to close the door. Be his friend. You’re a vet, and he has an injured dog. You’re a smart girl; use that. And if it feels right to move forward, then do it. You owe it to yourself. But remember that I’ll be back in a few days and he must be best friend approved first.”
    “Oh yes, I remember. Remember when you were out on your first tour and you saw the picture of Ellis and sent it to me? That was all the approval this best friend needed.”
    Sam giggled. “How could I forget? I wake up next to that sexy man every day now. Speaking of, I hear Kerri crying again. Probably time to eat. Are you okay, Lace?”
    Lacey smiled, knowing she was. She truly was. “Yes. Thank you, Sam. You’re the best kind of best friend anyone could ever want, and you’re mine.”
    “Call me tomorrow after you get home from work,” she instructed. “Love you.”
    Lacey disconnected the call after agreeing to call her tomorrow, and lay her head back against the chair. Her dinner was stone cold now, but she couldn’t eat anyway. Her stomach was in knots. Deciding she needed something stronger, she traded her soda for a glass of red wine and headed for her bathtub.
    “I miss you, Mom,” she whispered. “But maybe Sam’s right. Maybe everyone has been right all along. But could you go tell Dad that, too? He needs you.”
    Lacey knew she needed to call her dad, and she would. But as she sank herself into the bubbles, her eyes closed and all she saw was a tall, muscular, dirty-blonde haired man with a dog named Max.

 
     
    He reached his hand out and smacked the offensive sound, groaning. He had hardly slept a wink last night. When the sound started up again, he pulled the pillow off his face and blinked against the sunlight. Realizing almost too late that it was his phone ringing, he picked up the ear-shattering object.
    Seeing it was Brooke, he hit accept. “Mornin’,” he rumbled.
    “Brant! I just heard about Max! Why didn’t you call me?” He had called both of his sisters. He couldn’t help it that Heather was the one that answered.
    “I called you and left a message.”
    “Oh, pfft. I never check those. Heather just told me. Is he okay?”
    Brant swung his legs over the side of the bed and rubbed his hand over his face. He felt like he hadn’t slept at all, possibly because he had tossed and turned all night after having too many beers and thinking too much. “He should be. I’m going to see him this morning. As long as he doesn’t get an infection, he’ll be fine. That’s why he’s going to stay at the vet at least through today.”
    “Wow,” she said. “I’m so glad he’s okay. Keep us updated, okay?”
    “I will,” Brant promised, hanging up the phone. He looked at the clock. Nine in the morning. Well, apparently he had gotten some sleep, after all. He stood up, bee lining it for the bathroom so he could get ready to go see Max. He was probably already awake and looking for him,
