“He’s not ugly! He’s adorable.”
Collin sighed. Here went the softhearted defense attorney, wanting to give everyone a second chance.
“I think he’s a poodle mix. Maybe a labradoodle or a golden doodle.”
“He’s a no-doodle, if you ask me.” Collin frowned at the dog.
“You’re so mean!” Madison exclaimed. “Can’t you have a heart, for once?”
“I have a heart,” he argued, a little taken aback.
“Really?” She looked skeptical and that stung.
“I’m not that bad. Only to the bad guys.”
“Look, why don’t you go back to...” Madison lost her train of thought. “...wherever you came from and I’ll take care of the dog. I can go knock on doors.”
“You? Take this disaster around and knock on strangers’ doors?” Collin was horrified. “In your condition?” He suddenly imagined a host of problems—heat stroke or an accident—or even worse, serial killers lurking behind every palm tree.
“I’m pregnant, not paralyzed,” Madison said, narrowing her eyes. “And you don’t care about this dog, so I’ll do it.”
Collin let out a sigh. He’d have to go with her. He didn’t want her wandering around the island with a dog nearly as big as she was. Puppy or not. “I’m coming with you.”
“I didn’t ask for your help,” she said, lifting her chin.

The yellow dog barked his approval.
