Another snippet from the WIP, hopefully this one stands on its own:

"He found me yesterday when I was going on my daily walk," Margot said.
Carrie walked in and shook her head. "Let me guess. Margot found another stray. You realize they carry all sorts of disease and may require extensive medical treatment."
"Come on lets go for a walk, it will be fun!" Margot squealed.
"It's snowing," Luke said.
"Sure let's go."
"Are you serious Carrie, what about all you said about the danger of picking up strays?"
Carrie shrugged with a grin. "We took you in. Love isn't rational Luke."
