“What happens then? You’ll turn him loose again?”
“No,” she said hastily. Slinky could never run loose again, or Coughlin would kill him. “I’ll find him a home.”
He hesitated. “The Church Council might not want a dog in the parsonage.”
“The Johannesons had a cat.”
Gabriel rubbed his forehead as Slinky cocked his head and looked at him with big, hopeful eyes. Good boy, Slinky. She felt Gabriel’s resistance break.
“Two months,” he said. “You need to find him a new home within two months.”
“All right.” Perhaps she could convince Robert to bring Slinky with them or find a farmer willing to take him on.
“And you will help train him,” he added.
She swallowed hard. That meant hours working with Gabriel, hours by his side. “Me?”
“You. That point is not negotiable.” He put the rope in her hand. “You can start by bringing him to the parsonage.”
“Now?” Her legs turned to jelly.
“Of course now.”
He took off, leaving her no choice but to follow.
