Accidentally All of Me Pushover
HarryWe arrived at his vast estate. The gates slid open, and I drove up toward the house. It was tacky, really, but the enormous mansion that he’d had built for himself seemed to suit him down to the ground. I could never have imagined myself living in a place like that, but maybe I was just being a snob. Perhaps there was a lot to be said for just kicking back and letting yourself indulge in all your worst, craziest whims as you got older. He certainly seemed to be happy, after all.He was waiting by the door for us when we pulled to a halt outside the house, and he instantly crouched down and held his arms out to Winnie as soon as he saw her approaching.“Hey, Winnie!” he called to her, and she practically leaped into his arms and gave him a huge hug. I was surprised that she didn’t break him. He was starting to look really frail these days, and I just hoped to God that he was going to be with us a little longer yet. He had his bad days, days when he knew that he couldn’t handle se
Accidentally All of Me Harry Calling
RainaUgh.Days like this made me second-guess exactly why I had been so excited to take this on as a career. After all, I was elbow deep in a pile of dog crap that looked as though it could have sunk a small boat if it had all been dumped in at once.But this was how I had to test for worms, and that was just the way it had to be. I had to grit my teeth and remind myself that I loved my job, and nothing was going to change that. Not even a big pile of dog shit.“Raina?”My attention was drawn by Hannah’s voice coming around the door, and I glanced over to see her standing there with the phone in her hand.“Call for you,” she told me, and she waggled her eyebrows pointedly in my direction.I furrowed my brow. I hadn’t been expecting a call. “Hand it over,” I told her, snapping off the gloves and quickly stepping out of the room before the perfume of dog shit got stuck to my clothes for good. “Hello?”“Hello, Raina?” A familiar voice came down the line.I practically jolted on the spot
Accidentally All of Me Catch You Later
RainaHow was it that even down the phone, he could get me all flustered and overheated? I needed to get myself together. I needed to—I wasn’t sure, but I needed to do something. Maybe get off the phone and stop sounding like such a blundering idiot?“I guess you will,” he replied. How could he sound so cool? He was talking like he had the world in the palm of his hand, and me right there with it.“Catch you later,” I replied, and I practically cringed when I heard how breathy and overly interested my voice sounded. Oh my goodness. Was that really what I was like when I was around him? I had hoped that I might be able to keep myself together just a little better than that, but it seemed like I had lost the ability.We made sure to exchange numbers and said our goodbyes, and I hung up the phone and stared at it for a long moment. All my thoughts about work and worms and dogshit had vanished right out of my head. I was going to see him again. I was going to see him again. It was like I
Accidentally All of Me Give Me Shelter
HarryBy the time we were ready to leave for the shelter, I was pretty sure that Winnie was going to pop with excitement.Maybe I should have kept it under wraps that I was planning this trip, just for the time being. She was so excited she was barely able to keep herself together. I was glad to see that she was looking forward to this, but there was also a nervous part of me that was concerned that she wasn’t going to take it well if we couldn’t find a little furry friend for her to walk away with at the end of today.She had spent the whole week researching breeds, training, dog food types, and everything that anyone could possibly need to know about the dog that they were taking in. Every mealtime had been a chance for her to hit me with another huge stack of information, another pile of everything she had learned.She was taking this seriously, at the very least, but I was getting a little overwhelmed with everything that I needed to take in to be a remotely good dog owner.But st
Accidentally All of Me Love at First Sight
Harry“Okay, let’s take a look at the first row we have up for adoption right now,” Raina replied. “I know most of them pretty well, so we can talk about the ones that suit you best, okay? Let’s get started.”And with that, we were off, and I had to admit, this was a harder task than I had expected it to be. All these dogs had such personality, and all of them looked at us with such hope. Raina explained the breeds and the temperaments and the backstories to these little hounds, and Winnie interjected with what she had learned from all her studying recently.It was nice to hear her so passionate about something. She had obviously dedicated so much time to this, time to prove that she was worthy and capable of handling the hard work of a dog all by herself. I knew that whatever animal we took in, I was going to end up covering for a lot of its care, but that was all right.Maybe she just needed something to love once more. Something that she could take care of. Something that she could
Accidentally All of Me Finding the One
RainaAs soon as I saw the look on Winnie’s face, I knew that the deal was done. This was over. Everyone else could pack up and go home as far as this little girl was concerned because she was just about in love with the little guy in front of her.“What’s his name?” Winnie asked me, not taking her eyes off the terrier mix in front of her as she spoke.“Tink,” I replied. “He’s a really sweet guy actually. You want me to bring him out so you can say hello to him in person?”Winnie nodded enthusiastically, and I smiled and went to unlock the door of his cage. Tink was already bounding back and forth on the spot, running this way and that as he waited to get at the little girl. He could probably sense her energy, how excited she was to even be near him.As soon as the door was open, Tink bounded toward her, and she held out her arms to cuddle him tightly. I looked over at Harry again, and he smiled back at me. He could see as well as I could that this was as perfect as it was going to ge
Accidentally All of Me Taking Him Home
RainaIt was clear from the way Frankie was gazing at him that she was thoroughly enjoying his presence there, especially since it wasn’t like we got a lot of hot guys hanging out around these parts. I felt a little swell of protectiveness. He was mine, wasn’t he? At least, that was what I thought. Even though I had turned him down for that second date, even though I was only seeing him again because he wanted a dog...“Frankie, could you get all the adoption papers we need ready?” I asked, and she nodded, not taking her eyes off Harry for a single moment. It was like cartoon hearts were pumping in her eyes. She couldn’t have made it much more obvious if she tried. But then, I supposed I could hardly claim that I was the best at playing it super cool.Frankie shuffled the papers together and then handed them off to Harry. She eyed him as he filled out the forms in front of him, and when she saw him write his name down, it looked like her eyes were going to bug right out of her head.“
Accidentally All of Me Filling Her In
Harry“All right, buddy, let’s see what everyone at work makes of you, shall we?” I murmured as I helped Tink out of the car and onto the sidewalk. I had no idea how people were going to react to me bringing a dog into the office, but hey, my place, my rules, right? I could do whatever I wanted. In theory.Besides, when I had been heading out for work that morning and Winnie had been getting ready for school, I thought she was going to burst into tears when I told her that I would be leaving Tink home alone for a few hours.“I’ll come back at my lunch hour and take him for a walk,” I’d assured her. “You don’t have anything to worry about, okay?”“But what if he gets lonely or sad?” she’d demanded, and she’d squeezed him into a tight hug and hit me with a hard look.“He’ll be fine—”“Can you take him into work with you?” she’d pleaded. “Just for today? I don’t want him hanging around all by himself.”I sighed but conceded the point. She probably was right, after all. We had just taken
