“Move in?” He repeated, as if the thought never occurred to him. A thought-filled gaze moved across his face as he weighed the options of her staying with them versus living on her own. “I suppose that could work. The house has all the things you would need to function in your day to day human routine but we won’t be in need of help 24 hours a day; our job does consist of a lot of paperwork too. The only thing is that…” He let out a long sigh before looking around and enjoying the scenery. “We don’t know how long we’ll be here. Personally I don’t care. I could be here or there and be happy.”

“As much as we all appreciate your help, my goal is not to interfere with your daily life and routine. If moving in is the option you’d like to take, the only room that’s left doesn’t have its own bathroom so you’d have to use the one down the hall. Or you can have my room and I’ll sleep in guest one. Whatever’s the most comfortable for you.” Reaching over he picked up one of her hands and brought it to his lips, placing a gentle kind kiss on the back of her hand. “Thank you for being so understanding Alyssa, we are really in a pickle and it’s only you who can help us.” He gently let go of her hand and stood up.

Letting out a whistle, the dogs stopped playing and bounded over to them. Scratching each of them on their heads he turned to her as he tossed the ball up and down in the air. “Well, if you have no more questions other than moving in or not, we better go meet the rest of the gang.” His smile was bright and welcoming as he gestured towards the inside of the house.
