If Ray had chosen to become a hockey player instead of a cop, this is how his life might have turned out.

But why the hell Constable Benton Fraser was in my bedroom took a backseat to there was a fucking wolf on top of me. “Get off, get off — what are you, deaf?”

“Actually, he is,” Ben said, sounding apologetic. “And I’m afraid he’s a fan.”

“Does he want an autograph or something?”

“I’m sure it would make his day,” he said, and that sincerity was a killer. Christ. He took hold of the wolf’s muzzle and turned it to face him. “Diefenbaker, would you kindly get off Mr. Kowalski? I’m sure he appreciates the affection, but he’s not feeling his best–”

The wolf whined and jumped down to the floor.

I stared. “I thought you said he was deaf.”

Loved this. Loved it.

Fraser is Ray’s right-hand man.
