Ethan
“Ethan, if you’re going to do a bunch of grand gestures for Jane and make us take credit for them, you could at least warn us!” Linda scolds over the phone. “I mean the photo album was one thing, but now you’ve really taken it too far.
Honestly, her mortgage?”
“I assumed you would just tell her Eric feels so guilty for deceiving her all those years that he’s going overboard.” I reply.
“I did, but you have to admit it seems like a bit much – even for him!” Linda replies.
“Besides I’m not expecting you to take credit for everything – Devon agreed to say the babysitting service and personal gifts are from him.” I supply, smiling at the she-wolf’s indignation.
“And her company’s stock portfolio?” Linda gripes, “how are you going to explain that one?”
“Angel investors.” I answer easily. “It’s not like that’s out of the realm of possibilities after all – La Louve is the most profitable fragrance company on the market, any number of hedge funds would be thrilled to invest.”
“You know that this is crazy, right?” Linda grouses.
“She would so much rather have you, Ethan. Not to mention Paisley.”
“Believe it or not, I’ve heard all this from Matthew and Devon already.” I inform her stubbornly. “But I’ve made up my mind. I want the best for my family, and that’s not me.”
Linda sighs, a heavy, beleaguered sound that makes it clear she thinks I’m being completely unreasonable. “Are there any updates on your condition?” She asks after a moment. “I mean is the prognosis still terrible?”
“My doctors just told me about a potential surgery.”
I relate, somewhat reluctantly. “It’s risky, and if it goes wrong I could end up worse off than before. “
“Risky how?” Linda clarifies.

Jane let her go.”
I share grimly. “But it won’t be forever. If I don’t find a way to get better Paisley will be back with Jane and the other pups within the year.” I can practically hear Linda wince. She hates listening to me talk about my possible death so matter-of-factly, but I don’t see any benefit in ignoring reality. That won’t
