~27~
I left Sam at home as it would look awkward to be bringing my dog to work with me.
I even approached her front door, just in case he was still there.
Bella had mentioned he might want to be the first day.
To meet me once she told him, over the weekend, that she'd hired me.
It had been a long miserable two days without her.
I'd caved and come by last night, hoping I might catch her walking Leah.
No such luck.
All the lights in her house had been lit up though, making it stand out like a bright beacon on the beach.
From the shadows, I'd looked through the glass into her world.
They must have been hosting some kind of dinner party because of all the people in suits I saw inside.
