Staying up until 3 AM to finish that book was a huge mistake. Jonah had already been exhausted from working thirteen-hour days Monday and Wednesday plus freaking out about that near miss on Tuesday in front of his office and now it had all caught up to him.
He cursed Troy from the bottom of his heart for making him work on a weekend again when he desperately needed the rest. But there was one thing to look forward to about what would likely be a long and terrible day. Eden.
Dragging his weary behind to Freddie's in that smelly, itchy, and overall unpleasant dog costume was even harder than usual that morning but all of his weariness melted away when he saw Eden vacuuming. She didn't look terribly pleased to be there either but, the moment she spotted him, she flashed a dazzling smile his way and waved.
Jonah waved back with his heart hammering in his ears. That smile was lethal.
