 Fluttery Pegasi
Hadley looked quizzically at her gift. Rachel knew she couldn't have sweets. So...Then it dawned on her. "Sugar free?"
Cautiously, Hads tried on. Her face lit up brightly. "They're good!" She sounded surprised. Hadley, grinning widely threw her arms around Rach. "I love them, Peaches."
Asher took the opportunity of his distracted Mama to investigate the sugarless sweets and was just about to take a nibble when Hads snatched them away. "Not for ferrets!" Undetered, Asher started to climb Hadley to get to them, but was quickly distracted when Barkley appeared, licking Hadley's face.
Hadley laughed and scratched the puppy behind his ears. "Merry Christmas to you too, Sir Barkley Barkington the Third." Hadley gave him a curt nod and laughed again. Asher, meanwhile, started to do his war dance to entice Barkley to play.
Seeing her opportunity, Hadley wrapped up her gift and stood up. "Let's get breakfast."
