Owen cleared his throat and stared down at his boots waiting for her to turn him down. Without lifting his chin he glanced up at her from the tops of his eyes. “Okay. Good.” He tried to make his voice sound agreeable and encouraging for her. “If you’re the worst business owner maybe I’m the worst person to hire. So it kind of all fits?” He linked the fingers of each hand together in the air for her to demonstrate his thought process. “Not that you really are the worst.” He corrected quickly shoving his hands back down into his pockets. He left the option open that he could still be the worst while clearing her of that label.
When she moved so did he, wordlessly following her like Odin followed him. “Thank you.” The words were sincere. Said as if she were doing him some great favor and not merely performing a work task that would be compensated.
As they passed out side, Owen studied his surroundings orienting himself to each section of the facility where he was soon to work. That is where he would work should his identification work out for her requirements after all. His eyes lingered longest on the fetching little house situated nearby. Owen was left to conclude that the business owner lived next door. He didn’t risk asking in case a strange unwashed man asking an attractive young woman where she lived would come across as creepy and weird.
Odin didn’t sit patiently so much as stood eagerly wagging his tail as he was showered off. His eyes closed when the water passed over his head and he seemed to almost lean into the stream like a person would in savoring a shower. Odin’s behavior pulled a half-smile out of Owen. The corner of his mouth turned up and he almost laughed.
“He has his moments.” Owen appreciated the compliments to his dog but wanted to direct the conversation away from Odin’s vocation. “I think Blue has him beat on the training though.” Owen stood close enough to the shower that the water splashed on his boots and darkened the cuffs of his pants. “I noticed you were using hand signaled commands.”
Owen moved to lean back against the far wall of the shower stall. His back against the wall and his feet out in front, he crossed his arms protectively over his chest. She was asking personal questions and he considered pretending as if he hadn’t heard the question but quickly ruled that option out as rude to his soon-to-be employer.
“Seattle.”
As if they were the most interesting footwear in the world, Owen found himself staring yet again at his boots to avoid watching her shirt and legs attract the soapy lather as she bent over Odin. That wasn’t a problem Owen would necessarily have bathing dogs when he worked there. He had the torso, arm, and leg length to bend over even a tall dog without risking wetting anything. Jules was just...short, he noticed.
