92 Beginner's Luck

When they returned to Aaron's apartment, Keeley informed him that it would be best to introduce Dinah to the house slowly so she wouldn't be overwhelmed by the large space. Aaron let her loose in the room where he set up all of the cat things. After sniffing around for a few minutes and eating a little from the food bowl, Dinah jumped up into the hammock and fell asleep.

"My work here is done," Keeley announced, clapping her hands together. "Take me home now."

Now? It was only lunchtime. He hadn't spent nearly enough time with her. "At least let me buy you lunch. It's the least I can do since you helped me out so much today."

She bit her lip, torn. "What kind of lunch?"

"Anything you want," he said earnestly.

Keeley grinned mischievously. "No take backs."

He held up a hand and made the three finger Boy Scout salute to indicate trustworthiness. "No take backs," he agreed.
