She wagged her tail and jumped up on the bed.
He removed her.
This time she stayed down. He turned off the light and cradled his pillow, wishing it were Sarah Marsdon. She’d probably be up all night. He sincerely hoped he wouldn’t be.
He rolled over onto his back. He hoped she wouldn’t need that fluoroscope.
Without warning, lightning flashed through the room. Two seconds later the thunder crashed. “Close,” Mark said, just as Nasdaq landed on his stomach in a quivering ball. He stroked her gently. “It’s okay, girl. You’re all right with me.”
He started to shove her off the bed. “Oh, what the hell,” he said, and rolled over with the little dog cradled against his stomach. “Maybe all I’m good for is to keep you from being frightened.”
She nestled against him and laid her head on his arm. She smelled of fancy flea shampoo and just the faintest aroma of Dr. Sarah Marsdon—a blend of disinfectant, hand lotion and newly ironed cotton. Hardly an expensive perfume, but its effect on him was the same. He found himself thinking of Sarah and recalling that kiss—even though it hadn’t even been much of a kiss. Given the chance, he could do much better.
He would do much better at the first opportunity.…
TO AVOID having to take Nasdaq into the offices of Buchanan Enterprises, Mark spent a good hour in the morning on his cell phone and his Internet connection at home, while the dog ran around the backyard. However, by the time she came inside, her paws were matted with mud, which she proceeded to deposit on the kitchen floor.
