Logan rolled his eyes.
‘How about my Daddy friends?’ Logan grunted.
‘Oh, they’re seeing this!’ Stella giggled. ‘And I’ll even take a paddling for it!’
‘Hmph. You’d better believe that,’ Logan growled. ‘There’s no way this can make me feel like I do in arealcar…’
But Logan very quickly changed his mind over the Tesla, rapidly realizing that when it came to acceleration, electric cars were no slouches.
‘Holy shit, that was insane,’ Logan laughed, pulling the Tesla up as they drove into theThe Dog Denparking lot. ‘Now, about that surprise.’
Stella had a feeling she knew what was coming.
The closer they had gotten to the general direction ofThe Dog Den, the stronger the feeling had grown.
Stella didn’t knowpreciselywhat Logan had in store, but she could have taken a guess at this point.
‘Hmmmm. Anything you want to tell me?’ Stella said, smiling as the pair of them got out of the Tesla and made their way insideThe Dog Den.
Logan chuckled and put his arm around Stella.
‘Well you know that money I won for the drag race?’ Logan said, his voice full of pride.
‘Yeah?’
‘Well, it’s no longer my money,’ Logan said, beaming with pride. ‘It’sThe Dog Den’smoney now.’
‘Wow! Are you serious, Daddy?’ Stella said, taken aback. ‘I was expecting a donation and a dog adoption. But this…’
‘You don’t think it’s sensible, right?’ Logan said.
‘Well… yeah… I mean… actually, no. Iloveit!’ Stella said, her heart pounding in her chest. ‘You’re an incredible person, Daddy. I didn’t know if you’d change, but deep down you’ve always been this wonderful, kindhearted Daddy. Don’t ever change! Ever-ever-ever!’
‘I promise you that this isforever,’ Logan said, sincerity in his every word.
The pair of them embraced and with the sound of excited dogs barking from the playroom, Logan even gave Stella’s butt a quick spank.
But it wasn’t the time or the place to get too frisky.
It was time to have some fun with the dogs!
As Stella played catch and hide with a young spaniel called Flip, she paused and took a moment to consider how lucky she was that Logan walked back into her life when he did.
Logan was a one-of-a-kind Daddy.
Not only was he donating the race winnings, but Logan had also told Stella that he was beginning work atThe Dog Denas an official employee starting on Monday.
Stella loved how Logan had found his happy place.
Together, the pair of them were both in a brilliant place in their lives. Maybe it was timing that had finally aligned perfectly, but as far as Stella could see, there was no reason why her and Logan wouldn’t be together forever.
The pair of them had both grown and changed, while at the same time stayed true to what made them such special individuals too.
Stella knew this was a moment to be cherished.
The sight of Logan romping around the playroom with a pack of English sheepdogs chasing after him was pretty much one of the most wholesome things Stella had ever seen in her life.
And the best thing of all was that from now on, this would be Logan’s life every day.
