As Bree explained her condition, Owen’s eyebrows lifted inquisitively. He nodded his understanding. It didn’t strike him as particularly bizarre to hear that someone had been cursed. One area of medicine his mother had dabbled in was curse removal. More a hazy experimental art form than a science. But boy were there some weird curses.
“I see.”
Owen’s lips pressed into a thin line that spelled disapproval when Julianna opened their home to the young woman. As Julianna explained her reasoning - that the girl needed tending and time to contact her family - the tension in his mouth was relieved somewhat. Sure, Owen wouldn’t have offered it. He would have as soon offered to pay for a hotel for her and a private nurse to see her. Alas, he wasn’t going to argue with his wife. As always, her generosity towards strangers was as endearing as it was alarming.
“Fine.” Was all he said before moving towards the door that led to the lobby. “I’ll bring the car up to the front so she doesn’t have to walk so far.”
Cain was left merely observing the interactions. His ears fell flat and tail twitched when his mother announced that Bree would be staying at their house.
“Great. She’s all set then.” He said with a kind of nervousness in his voice. “I just gotta…” He picked up the chart he had worked so hard in documenting his treatment of the Chorkie that no longer existed. Cain dumped the whole damn chart into the trash. “There. You were never here.”
He backed towards the door on the employee side of things. “Looks like you all have this under control so I’ll just uh-” He jerked a thumb behind his shoulder, “-I’m sure I have other patients to see. Good luck Bree.” He said as if that would be the last time he saw her even though he knew full well she would likely end up staying a while at the house. That was just his mother’s way. He kind of had the feeling that Bree didn’t have her shit together.
