The animals he worked with always soothed his restless spirit All they needed to entle touch and acceptance His hand twitched as he reood it had felt to have Sasha squeeze his hand when she thought he was asleep Maybe that’s why he and the dogs got along They had that h the back door of the clinic, doing his best to shrug off the pain and frustration of the past few days His furry friends had enough proble to pick up on his tension As soon as he started across the room, several heads turned his way Most weren’t huht for hi pretty concerned about you Usually if you’re going to miss a shift, you call"

"I’m sorry to have worried you, Doctor" Larem opened his locker and slipped on his lab coat "I hopewhen Lare What happened? Are you all right?"
