That's why she was tickled pink when handsome Nathan MacCallum came into Miren's life. Sure, Nathan seemed to have issues of his own to resolve - although why people were so forever concerned about righting family wrongs was beyond Molly - but she knew from his scent he'd be a good catch. And she knew from Miren's pink cheeks and distracted gaze that his hot kisses were something special. Now she'd simply have to herd the spirited Scottish lass and brooding American together, and show the silly humans that true love - and a faithful house pet - were all they'd ever need.
