forward to working with
Willow, and you too, Luc.”
    She reached out to shake his hand again. Stupid me. I have to get used to the fact he can’t see
what I’m doing .
    She took the lead this time and lifted up his hand
and squeezed it. He squeezed it back, which made her legs tingle. There was
something about those fingers and his touch that excited her.
    “I’ll walk you to your car,” said Jake.
    He led her through to the hallway and then opened
the front door. They stepped outside.
    “He must already like you because he was in a foul
mood before you arrived. He’s feeling a bit sorry for himself, so if he’s ever
down just ignore him, okay? Because he’s one of the best guys
around.”
    Katey nodded. “I think I would be, too. I can’t imagine what it’s like to suddenly
lose your sight.”
    “We’re trying to talk him into going in for eye
surgery.”
    “So they can restore his sight?”
    “Not all of it, but the doctor feels confident he’d
see about eighty percent in the right eye. If you can, try and talk him into
it, okay?”
    “I’ll give it a shot.”
    “I know you two are going to be perfect for one
another. I mean as a team, working with Willow.”
    “I hope I don’t let you down, because I’d like you
to keep me in mind for other dog training assignments in Boise.”
    “I’ll do that, but right now your focus needs to be
on Luc, okay?”
    She nodded. “Sure … and I’ll see you at tomorrow at
ten.”
    She got in her car and started the ignition as Jake
walked back to the house.
    She smelled her wrist where she’d sprayed some of
the perfume from her mother. Ruth hated it and said it gave her a headache. Luc
had picked up on it. He’d liked it too. She glanced back at the house and saw
Jake with Willow. She waved to him before pulling away from the curb.

    Luc outlined his palm with his finger. Katey had soft hands, and he’d actually felt something come
alive in him the second she’d touched him. What that something was he wasn’t
quite sure, because he’d never experienced anything like it. Maybe it was his
libido coming back to life. After all, he’d been without a woman, without sex, since
the incident.
    Even her perfume had made him sit up and take
notice. He didn’t know why, but something about her touch and smell told him
she was pretty.
    Why was he even thinking about her and the way she
looked? Was he looking at the future? Yeah, that was dumb.
      Katey would be hanging out while she trained Willow to
assist him, but after all that was over, what and who did he have ,
and who did he have to fantasize about? He couldn’t go out on the town by
himself, spot a pretty girl and ask her out. He’d live in this house in his own
private hell. He might have fouled up today’s suicide attempt, but he wouldn’t next
time.
    He suddenly heard footsteps in the room. He hated
the fact that anyone could sneak up on him when he least expected it and invade
even his private thinking time.
    “Mitchell and I are going to take you out for a
meal.” It was Jake, and then he felt the dog’s hot breath on his leg. He
reached out to pat Willow’s head.
    “Let’s eat in. I don’t feel sitting in a
restaurant.”
    “You can do that when we’re gone, but tonight, it’s
a buddies reunion.”
    “You and Mitchell can go if you want.”
    “Nope … you’re coming with us, even if we have to
drag you there.”
    “Look, Jake. I know what you’re trying to do, but I
don’t want people looking at me, pointing at me without me knowing it…I just
don’t, okay.” He didn’t mean to raise his voice at Jake, but getting other
people to understand how he felt was growing more frustrating by the day.
    Luc heard more footsteps.
    “Can you believe this guy? He’s giving me a hard
time … doesn’t want to go out to eat,” said Jake. “Looks we’ll have to carry
him out to my truck.”
    “That can’t be true. You always loved a great meal
and a
