Caden noted she was avoiding him, deciding not to push.

She sat on the couch and pet Murphy
|

|

|
Murphy lay his head on her knee, looking up at her.
|

|
"Such a sweet boy, huh?" she cooed
|
|  |
|

|
He wagged his tail, climbing up beside her.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Careful you don't squish me, fatty" She teased. "Hey, babe, can you come here?"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
Caden heard her request and grinned, collecting it back to a straight expression as he walked to her.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I'm sorry for my outburst. I didn't mean to freak out and yell and I also wanted to thank you for not yelling back. I'm really sorry"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"It's fine, I mean, if I signed a contract not knowing I was helping with a murder i'd react the exact same." He mused with a chuckle, trying to keep things positive as he sat beside her.

|
She took his hand. "But I'm not gonna help"
