He’d made another call he shouldn’t have and found out things he hadn’t wanted to know. Typical of his life lately. But he knew Kira was panicked about what was happening to her animals, and besides, there was only so much he could watch as she rearranged his whole life and put herself directly in the center. Because what was going to happen when she left? She didn’t see that consequence, obviously, didn’t see that she was going to leave behind a big, gaping hole. But he had things to worry about other than himself. Apparently, the only one who knew what the hell they were doing at the animal refuge had been Kira. Suddenly Rafi was in a cage because there was no one who could control the pretty lynx, and Luke, the monster German shepherd who’d nearly killed him and then helped save him, hadn’t eaten in weeks. Babs was just wandering around listless and Shamal refused to leave her stall. For a second, he saw his yard filled with dogs and tigers and God knows what else, all of them surrounding Kira.
