âOh my gosh. These puppies are so adorable.â I bent down and played with three puppies that were running around and yapping. Their small, brown eyes looked at me innocently, and I could feel my heart aching to grab hold of all of them and squeeze them tight. I looked over at Jack, who was standing there watching me, a curious expression on his face. âI donât know how youâre going to choose. I just love all of them.â
âWell, I canât take all of them. Puppies are a lot of work, you know.â
âI know, and Iâm not the one thatâs getting them. Iâm just⦠Oh, youâre so cute,â I said as one licked me on the hand. I picked it up and saw that it was a girl. âYouâre such a sweet little girl. Oh my gosh. Yes, you are. Yes, you are.â I rubbed the puppyâs belly and held it to me. I kissed it on the side of the face and then put it back down to pick up another puppy, which turned out to be a boy. âOh my gosh. Theyâre brother and sister, and theyâre so cute. You can see how much they love each other.â
I sighed as Jack walked over to me, shaking his head. âYouâre no help. You know that, right?â
âWhat? What did you want me to do? I canât help you choose. I canât say no to any of them. If I lived here, I would most probably want all of them.â
âWell, I guess itâs a good thing you donât live here, then.â
âYeah, I guess so,â I said, not sure what he meant by those words.
âI guess if I was Rafael, I might get all of them,â Jack said.
I stared at him in confusion. âWhat does Rafael have to do with anything?â
âOh, nothing. But I was wondering if you were thinking about him andââ
âWhat do you mean, if I was thinking about him? Why would I be thinking about him?â
âI donât know. Maybe because he asked you on a date andâ¦â
âHe didnât ask me on a date.â I shook my head. âWhat are you talking about?â
âOh, so you werenât flirting with Rafael at the coffee shop?â he asked as he bent down to pet one of the puppies.
âNo, I wasnât flirting with Rafael at the coffee shop. I meanâ¦â I smiled for a couple of seconds, thinking about my banter with Rafael. âOkay. Maybe we were kind of flirting, but it was nothing serious. Why? Was I being obvious? Do you think he thinks I like him or something? Did he say something to you when you guys were playing basketball?â
âWhat do you mean, did he say something to me?â Jack snapped.
âI donât know. Did he say something about me or ask you?â
âWhy are we talking about Rafael?â he said. âIâm here to decide which one of these puppies is going to help me on the farm.â
âWhat?â My jaw dropped. âYou are the one that brought up Rafael. Not me.â
âI donât recall,â he said.
