Not just for now, but forever?

And would Logan even want to do that with me?

Stella finished off pruning her potted plants and walked back inside the apartment. She always felt good having tended to her garden and made her way into the kitchen for a nice, ice-cold glass of water.

Logan was busy on the laptop, and Stella was curious to see what had captured his attention…

‘Checking out some hot girls?’ Stella said, a knowing smile on her face.

‘Ha! No, nothing like that,’ Logan replied. ‘You’re quite enough for me, sweetie pie.’

Stella poured herself a drink of water and loaded it with a bunch of ice cubes straight from the refrigerator. Walkingtoward Logan, Stella could suddenly see that Logan was onThe Dog Den’s website.

Interesting.

Very…. Interesting.

Is Logan looking for… a job?

However as Stella approached, a flustered Logan suddenly clicked off theThe Dog Denwebsite and instead started looking through some sports results from the previous evening.

‘Playoff time!’ Logan said, attempting to distract Stella from what she had only moments ago seen on his screen.

‘Sure,’ Stella replied. ‘You know me though, I’m not really much of a sports gal. Not like that, anyway.’

Stella could see that Logan was a little bit flustered. But why didn’t Logan want Stella to know he was looking at jobs at The Dog Den? Stella thought it was adorable and definitely a positive thing, so couldn’t understand why Logan would feel so shy and secretive about it.

Whatever reasons Logan had for being secretive, Stella decided she should respect them. There was nothing worse than trying to do something privately and then have someone stick their nose in and potentially disrupt it.

So rather than cramp Logan’s space, Stella gave him a quick kiss and took her ice-cold glass of water over onto the couch. It was time to make some plans with Lilah and Nicki…

Hey guys! Any plans for this evening? Logan is out with his bros – who are both single by the way!!! I’ll be all alone. Do you guys feel like coming over for a movie and popcorn night? Let me know what you’re thinking. Stella XoXoXo

Stella reclined on the couch and began to casually scroll through her Instagram. She checked her notifications and saw that she had been followed by Lauren Treen from work. While it was always nice to get a new follower, Stella immediately felt a shiver run over her body.

It wasn’t good news to have Lauren following her. While in theory it could have been an attempt to build bridges and improve their relationship in work, Stella sensed that Lauren had other motivations.

Urgh.

Why does that B have to be in my life?

If she expects me to follow back, she can forget it…

Stella had a quick look through the most recent updates on theThe Dog DenInstagram page. It was wonderful to see so many wholesome photos of the recent batch of dogs to have found their lovely new forever homes. It filled Stella with joy to see so many pups find new homes and human friends who would give them a great life.

Stella could definitely see the appeal of working at The Dog Den. She was very happy at EcoPlay and had no intention of leaving – even if Lauren was a pain in the ass.

But the thought of Logan working at The Dog Den was just incredible.

Stella could help Logan with his job application, and put in a good word for him with theThe Dog Denmanagement.

It was such a no brainer!

But Stella kept quiet and decided that Logan would bring it up with her if he wanted to.

Casting her eyes over a photo of the totally adorable Sweetie, Stella wondered when this big chunk of canine delightfulness would find her forever home. Hopefully it wouldn’t be too long, but sometimes bigger dogs found it harder to be rehomed sadly.

Then in a burst of notifications, Stella received replies from both Lilah and Nicki…
