Chapter 77

“Okay, well when you’re driving past us, can you drop it off? Or should I come get it? Is it heavy?”

“Jason can put it in the back of the SUV, and I’ll drop it off on my way to town tomorrow morning, if that’s okay?”

“Sure, works fine. We’ll be here. Thanks so much!”

“No problem, see you then. Tell Makai I said hi.”

“Will do, bye!”

Emil chuckled as he put the phone away.

“What?” Makai looked curious.

“She has Joie’s old playpen she wants to donate to the kittens so we can take them outside!”

Makai seemed stunned. “Really?”

“Yeah, and it’s a big one, apparently. So I hope we can sit inside with them, or at least one of us can.”

It warmed Emil’s heart to see Makai so grateful and moved and even a little bit amazed at the kindness people were showing him.

Makai’s expression when he’d opened all the gift cards and started to read the little notes attached was priceless, especially when he found that most of them were to Amazon and worth a few hundred dollars total.
