I tucked my files into the proper folder before locking my cabinet and turning around. Lilah was standing in the door way with an amused expression

I was a nervous wreck waiting for Lindsey, I had no idea what he had planned and he refused to tell me. Talk about frustrating.
But I didn't have time to think about that for long. I'd just gotten off the phone that morning with Dawnie. I couldn't believe what she told me. She knows better then to play with the weapons in the house. Especially with Miss. Kitty around...
I spent the better part of the afternoon in tears. Not how I wanted to spend it. I packed and cried and then waited for Lindsey.
I had finally calmed down a bit when I heard him at the door. He was just what I needed. Between it being the week Mamma died and now Miss. Kitty....
Going away was very good.
I checked the mirror and I didn't look so bad on first sight, I turned and opened the door, he was standing there obviously in deep thought.
I giggled and he noticed me. "Hi.". I smiled up at him. "Hey." I murmured before wrapping my arms around his neck and hugging him tightly. I closed my eyes and tried to rid my thoughts as best I could. I wasn't going to cry
( ... )
I noticed her eyes were a little red and she hugged me tighter than usual. Not that I minded but still it concerned me a little.
"Are you ok? Did something happen?"
My mind began to wander in places it never should. Had Lilah found out, had she stopped by or called Tara? What on earth had happened? I'd just seen her the night before and everything had been great, she'd been frustrated that I wouldn't spill my secret but still good.
I shook my head against his shoulder. "No..." I took a shaky breath and pulled back to look up at him. "Please...Lindsey..."
I swallowed hard and looked down, he was going to think it was so stupid and childish that I'm this upset over a cat...but Miss Kitty was different...
It really did mean that things were finished with Willow.
But I wanted that, I needed that. But that's why I left her with Dawnie. I thought Dawnie would take care of her... Why couldn't she have lied and told me that she lost her at kitten poker?
Lindsey touched my face and made me look at him, I took a deep breath and looked at him. I knew that I looked like I was going to laugh and cry at my own stupidness. "Dawnie killed my kitten..." Yes Tara, that sounds so mature.
I looked at her and pulled her to me hugging her tightly.
"I'm sorry." I kissed her forhead.
She looked up at me confused.
"What. Loosing pets is hard. Pets are the source of the only un-conditional love we get to experience, sometimes its harder to loose a pet than a person."
It might sound stupid to people who didn't have pets or never had one die, but they were important, compainons.
I laughed but didn't have time to respond to his words. We borded and I leaned back against the back of my seat, turning my head to him.
"I'm not as suave and slick as I pretend to be, I'm sure you've noticed. I'm just a country boy in a nice suit."
I grinned and put my hand with his. "I like the country boy, a lot. If you remember when I met the lawyer I couldn't stand him. The facade and all. I could do without. When you showed me the real you..." I gave his hand a small squeeze. "That's what I like."
I reached up and brushed the hair away from his face before running my hand down his cheek. "Just be Lindsey. Be Mac. That's all I ever asked. No games."
"I like the country boy, a lot. If you remember when I met the lawyer I couldn't stand him. The facade and all. I could do without. When you showed me the real you... That's what I like."
I smiled at her. It was nice to know she apprieciated me.
"Just be Lindsey. Be Mac. That's all I ever asked. No games."
I leaned over and kissed her lightly, pulling back and kissing her forehead.
I kissed him back and rested my head on his shoulder. "Good, games are well..yeah." I sighed and I couldn't help but think about what had happened with Willow. That was just a mess. That was another lifetime ago and it was time to move on.
I reached over into his lap and rested my hand with his before lacing my fingers around his own. "So what's this place like?" I tilted my head up to him. "Never really been anywhere like this before."
"So what's this place like? Never really been anywhere like this before."
I looked over at her.
"I actually haven't been to this place in Tahoe, but I did the research it's pretty quite. The cabin is nice and secluded but not too far away from everything going on in the midst of the resort."
I held her hand in mine, just feeling good with the simple gesture.
"I figure we just wing it, if you want to try skiing, you are the party boss."
