Pestle scowled again at Hyde as if personally offended by the accusation. Teresa plucked him off the ground and nestled her chin between his ears. They each returned to their observations of the field.
“I imagine we’ve misplaced them to cardboard and thriller.” Hyde supplied a tiny sliver of the corn taco to Mortar, who’d deigned to maneuver off the plush cushion by the window to hitch them. “I’m certain we’ll work out what’s inside ultimately.”
