After Jett hung up, Natalie pushed to her feet, both hands planted on the tabletop. She got her voice back with a vengeance. “You want me to go with you to see your sister?”
“You’re taking half responsibility for the dog, right?” That took her aback, but Jett continued anyway. “You need to hear what she has to say. What if Buddy is sick and needs some sort of treatment?”
“I hadn’t thought…”
So that she’d know he wasn’t shying away from financial obligations, Jett said, “I’ll pay for everything, but you should know what’s going on.”
Her mouth opened twice without her saying anything. She steadied herself. “I will share the costs with you.”
“Connie is my sister, so—”
“She’s not my sister.”
Seeing the mulish set to her mouth, Jett shrugged. No way would Connie charge them anyway. “All right.”
At his easy capitulation, her eyes narrowed. “Well…good.”
Jett waited.
She clasped her hands together. “Do you actually think he might be sick?”
“I’m not a vet, but he seems healthy to me.” Because Jett had her cornered and he knew it, he played it casual. “The thing is, we have no idea yet how he might react in a car.” He bit into another slice of pizza, a man without ulterior motives. “In case he gets upset, it’ll be easier with us both along for the ride.”
