Jenna worked at an exotic vet clinic that was open from 7 AM to 4 PM daily but she always knocked off at 3 so she could pick Wesley up from school on days he wasn't hanging out with his cousins. She was so tired from worrying about the Bryce situation all night that she nearly slept through her alarm and had to rush there looking like the living dead.
"What's with you?" one of the vet techs, a girl named Melanie Walters, asked with a furrowed brow.
"Long day yesterday," she replied wryly. "I'll live. Who do we have scheduled for today?"
"Benny the bullfrog, Sweet Cheeks the sugar glider, Yoda the cockatiel, and Mojo the boa constrictor. All before lunch. It gets worse afterwards. You know that one cat that always has to come in to get dental work done?"
