You’re Holly Force. I met you a few years ago when your family…Dallas, is he your brother?” She nodded at his question. “He interviewed me for a position as doctor. I didn’t understand why they needed a vet back then.” He laughed again. This time, she could hear the humor. “I guess he was getting someone to care for his people.” “Yes. But the man you’re helping, he’s the alpha, the big cheese, I guess. Austin Force is my brother, as are Connor and Gordon.” When he moved back, she could see that Austin was sleeping. “You put him to sleep?” “No!” he shouted then seemed to gather himself. “I mean no, not to sleep. I can put people in a sort of restful state, but I’d never…” He laughed again and then looked at her. “You simply meant asleep. I’m sorry. Where I work…worked, putting someone to sleep had very little to do with a restful state.” She grinned too. She heard him before she saw him and stood up.
