A continuation of this thread
If anyone had ever wondered if Esperanza was the kind to bring strays home, this was sure to serve as an affirmative answer. She was feeling blessed in the rat’s honor to have a King that would be so supportive of her Good Samaritan venture. She did wonder what kind of young man this stranger was - perhaps his personality reflected his looks and his beast. Hopefully he would not be a destructive force in her home.
Parking in the driveway, she killed the engine and stepped out with her purse. The back door came open as Levka pulled up, and she would drag out her oversized medical bag to take inside. There was not much she could do for broken ribs except load him up with over the counter pain killers. Even those would not last the poor thing very long.
Great trees served as a means of privacy from any neighbors who might be home, but Espy would still spare a glance around the yard before the polar bear extracted their new friend from his car. Confident in their seclusion, she would push the door open and stand out of the way so that they could come in, one hand instinctively hovering over the rat’s head as they passed over the threshold in case Levka suffered a spell of clumsiness.
Closing the door behind them, she moved to the couch and patted the arm while plopping the big bag beside it. "Just lay him down here. I will get him some pajama pants." Not that they would fit him very well, but at least he would be a little more decent that way. "Make yourself at home, of course!"
Wehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
