Llewellyn leaned in close, tone wistful, as he responded to the comment. “I suppose you’re right, even if I can’t help but wish we could keep you with us for the day.” It was nice to have the three of them together, but Rhy was right. “But we’ll make the most of the remainder of the day, and once I can pry him away from the park the two of us will go about gathering up the things on the list, you gave me.”

Pressing a small kiss to Rhy’s cheek, he continued a moment later. “But your next day off... I think we should all come back, maybe do a picnic and enjoy ourselves. Maybe even go for a walk closer to the forest if we can find him a leash to keep track of him till he’s a little better trained again.”
