Chapter 13

Emma

“Oh my gosh. These puppies are so adorable.” 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. “I don’t know how you’re going to choose. I just love all of them.”

“Well, I can’t take all of them. Puppies are a lot of work, you know.”

“I know, and I’m not the one that’s getting them. I’m just… Oh, you’re so cute,” I said as one licked me on the hand. I picked it up and saw that it was a girl. “You’re such a sweet little girl. Oh my gosh. Yes, you are. Yes, you are.” I rubbed the puppy’s 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. “Oh my gosh. They’re brother and sister, and they’re so cute. You can see how much they love each other.”

I sighed as Jack walked over to me, shaking his head. “You’re no help. You know that, right?”

“What? What did you want me to do? I can’t help you choose. I can’t say no to any of them. If I lived here, I would most probably want all of them.”

“Well, I guess it’s a good thing you don’t live here, then.”

“Yeah, I guess so,” I said, not sure what he meant by those words.

“I guess if I was Rafael, I might get all of them,” Jack said.

I stared at him in confusion. “What does Rafael have to do with anything?”

“Oh, nothing. But I was wondering if you were thinking about him and—”

“What do you mean, if I was thinking about him? Why would I be thinking about him?”

“I don’t know. Maybe because he asked you on a date and…”

“He didn’t ask me on a date.” I shook my head. “What are you talking about?”

“Oh, so you weren’t flirting with Rafael at the coffee shop?” he asked as he bent down to pet one of the puppies.

“No, I wasn’t flirting with Rafael at the coffee shop. I mean…” I smiled for a couple of seconds, thinking about my banter with Rafael. “Okay. 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?”

“What do you mean, did he say something to me?” Jack snapped.

“I don’t know. Did he say something about me or ask you?”

“Why are we talking about Rafael?” he said. “I’m here to decide which one of these puppies is going to help me on the farm.”

“What?” My jaw dropped. “You are the one that brought up Rafael. Not me.”

“I don’t recall,” he said.
