СКАЧАТЬ them, dampening their fur. Their tiny eyes were closed, their miniature paws kneading slightly. Fayrene pulled free of Ryan and dropped to a crouch.

      “They’re beautiful,” she murmured. “Do you think she’s done giving birth?”

      “Cats can take a break for up to twenty-four hours,” he told her. “She’s not in discomfort, so just let her be.”

      Misty might not be upset, but Fayrene felt the whole world kind of shift to the left. She wondered if she was about to faint for the first time in her life.

      “T-twenty-four hours?”

      “It’s not that unusual. The fact that the first three came so quickly might mean she’s done, but there’s no way to know for sure.”

      She stood slowly, one hand on the desk for support. “I can’t go through this for twenty-four hours,” she murmured. “It’s too stressful.”

      “Misty’s doing great,” Ryan told her.

      Easy for him to say. He wasn’t the one who would be watching over her for the next twenty-four hours. Work now, she told herself. Panic later. So the night would be long. She would make it through.

      “Thank you for your help,” she said, glancing at him. “You’ve been great, and now you probably want to get back to whatever it was you were doing.”

      He flashed her a grin that made her knees nearly give way. “I’ll be in all day if you and Misty need any help.”

      “We might have to take you up on that.”

      She appreciated that he didn’t point out the cat was doing great and didn’t seem to need much of anything. She, on the other hand, could use a hug. Her gaze slid to Ryan’s retreating back. She would bet he was a great hugger. She liked that in a guy. When he held on tight, as if he would never let go. Although not in a scary, stalker kind of way.

      Not that she was interested in Ryan. She had goals and a plan. Part of that plan was to avoid romance for the next four years. There would be plenty of time for fun later.
