them and finding them new homes?
Right on cue, something fuzzy and warm tingled in my chest. And the
feeling got only worse when I found myself picturing Aaron holding a bunch
of cute puppies that he cared about and raised money for in his bulky arms.
As he knelt on a field. In his football gear. Tight pants. Shoulders that went
