    Summary

    “David is rather good at pretending he hasn’t eaten in days, so please don’t fall for his schemes. He has a well-balanced diet, but don’t hesitate to give him a snack every now and then, because it will help you if you want him to listen to you.”

    “I see David and I have that in common,” Alex grins. “Put some food in front of me and I’ll do basically anything.”

    Henry raises an inquisitive eyebrow and Alex scolds himself for voluntarily offering up another piece of useful information.

    “I’ll keep that in mind,” Henry replies with a roguish twinkle in his eye.

    And, fuck, why does that make Alex’s heart accelerate?

    ---

    When Henry needs a last-minute dog sitter, Alex isn't looking forward to looking after June's boring friend's Beagle. He'll do anything for his sister, however, so he shows up at Henry's brownstone a couple of hours later anyway. It doesn't take long for Alex to find out he might have been wrong about Henry. He might actually be worth getting to know better.

    Who knew?!

    Summary

    “What’s wrong?” Alex asks.

    “It’s mistletoe!” Pez squeals excitedly, clapping his hands together. “You know what that means!”

    “Oh, come on,” Alex scoffs, finally looking up.

    They’re exactly underneath the archway and right above their heads, as if someone had planned it- which they obviously did- hangs a small bundle of mistletoe. Alex is sure it wasn’t there earlier. They would have heard about it, wouldn’t they? Mistletoe always causes a commotion, and with a room full of people, it wouldn’t have gone unnoticed.

    “It’s gonna be bad luck if you don’t kiss,” Nora says, sounding very convinced for someone who’s about to receive a firm tap on the back of her head soon.

     

    A small bundle of mistletoe changes everything Alex thought he knew about himself.

    Summary

    He glances over and sees David snuggling in his bed, under the window in the living room, dead to the world. The only sign of life is his legs going ten to the dozen. Twitching and kicking out at some imaginary foe, or more likely, in Henry’s opinion, chasing the squirrels in the park. It is David’s favourite pastime after all.

    Or, the softer than soft story of a morning in the life of one man and his dog.
