One glance into the living room sent her heart racing and a shiver of fear up her spine.Tanner sat on the couch with Hercules draped across him.He looked up at her with a sheepish smile. "I wanted to check on you. The guard dog sat on me so I wouldn't peek into the shower."Said canine snored loudly."Uh-huh." She headed toward the kitchen, grabbed the bag of dog food, and filled the elevated bowl.Tanner tracked her with his eyes.Hercules immediately sat up before scurrying off Tanner, hurrying to his afternoon meal. Seconds later, loud crunching rang through the room."I thought I locked the door.""You did."She shook her head, flicking a glare at Hercules. "Some guard dog you are." The fact that he could get through locked doors with ease didn't really surprise her. Considering what little she knew about his past and present, it made sense that breaking and entering skills came in handy. Still, it rattled her a bit to find him in her living room unannounced.Tanner patted the vacated spot on the couch.
