Chapter 77

After she'd changed out of scrubs and into jeans and a tee, Zoe sat on the edge of Avery's desk, waiting for her to finish a call. The morning had been hectic, but she got through it. The whole week had been pretty nuts. Zoe barely had time to visit Mama during breaks.

Avery hung up and smiled. "Done with clients?" Once Zoe nodded, Avery checked the schedule on her computer. "Not a bad way to end the week. A half day on Friday." She sighed. "Take me with you. Please? We have the Dawson twins coming in this afternoon with their Chow-Chows to see Cade. They cling to him like saran wrap, and I don't mean the dogs. I'm sure I'm going to need your amnesia stick by the time they leave."

Zoe laughed at the reference to her baseball bat skills. "How about I take you to lunch instead? I have something I wanted to talk to you about."

"Sure." Avery set out the be back soon sign, locked her PC, and rose.
