Thank God the day was over. Andrew had managed to keep things moving and had gotten
through his entire agenda. He took off his robe and hung it up, then sat at his desk to get
some work accomplished and prepare for the following morning. What he needed was a few
hours alone, but he was more likely to get just a few minutes. Still, he used them to his full
advantage.

“Judge Phillips,” Clay said after Andrew had gotten in a half hour of uninterrupted work.
“When do you intend to leave for the day?”

Andrew checked the clock and figured now was as good a time as any.
He stood and began packing his bag for the evening. “Give me ten minutes.”

“Then I’ll bring the car around so I can take you home.”
Clay picked up the suitcase that Andrew had placed by the door that morning and left the

Andrew finished up, and by the time he was ready, Clay had returned.
They went down the back stairs and out through the front door. A sheriff’s vehicle was parked
just off to the side. Clay watched all around as he escorted Andrew to the car and got him
inside before hurrying to the driver’s side. They took off and turned onto Hanover Street.

“Where are we going?” It definitely wasn’t his home.
“I need to stop at my house to check on Petey. He’s been cooped up inside all day,
and I need to let him out and feed him. It won’t take long.”

“Do we really have to do this?” Andrew grumped as Clay turned onto Chapel and pulled into
his garage.

“Yes… we do. Please stay here,” Clay directed. He got out, closed the overhead garage door,
and locked it before checking the yard. Then he motioned for Andrew to join him,
and they walked up to the house. Clay opened the back door, and a short blond dog raced by,
hurrying to the nearest tree to do his business. “That’s Petey.”

Andrew knelt and petted the dog slowly. “He’s really adorable.”
“Petey is special.” Clay went inside, and Andrew followed. Petey raced to his empty bowl,
and Clay fed him and changed his water. “He spends a lot of the day here alone.
I try to come home at lunch to let him out, but I didn’t get a chance today.
Corgis are pack animals, and I think he suffers when he’s alone so much.”
He set the bowl down, and Petey crunched his food.

“But he’s alone all day,” Andrew said, kneeling down when Petey finished,
holding out his hand. Petey came right over for more scratches. “You’re a pretty boy,
aren’t you?” He scratched between Petey’s ears, and the dog sat down,
soaking in the attention. “Why don’t you bring him to the house?
It’s a shame to leave him here all alone so much of the time.”

Clay seemed taken aback. “Are you serious?” It was clear Clay really cared for his dog.
