For the next few days, Splendor cruised by the Hillwood Dog Park on her way to and from work. She searched the parking area, looking for the sedan with the license tag she knew by heart. There were usually only a few cars in the lot. Splendor supposed the cold, gray weather was keeping people at home.

She wasn’t going to give up, though. Sooner or later, Piper was sure to bring her dog for a run.

A powdery snow flurried outside, and Piper was happy to be sitting in front of the fireplace in the family room. She was working on sketches of designs for the cake for her cousin’s wedding. The nuptials were going to be performed on a Florida beach. Piper was trying to decide if the cake should be festooned with sugar sand dollars or seahorses.

She had been frequently checking Facebook for the past several days. She’d seen no new posts from Splendor Wilkins. Nor had the yoga student named Splendor returned to class. Piper was beginning to think that she’d been concerned for nothing.

“Emmett, cut it out, will you?” demanded Piper as the dog tugged at the toe of her sock. She pulled her foot away and continued to draw. She could feel Emmett looking at her with his dark eyes.

“What?” asked Piper. “What do you want?”

The dog wagged his tail and took a couple of steps toward the door.

“You want to go out, Em? All right,” said Piper, getting off the couch. “Let’s go to the dog park. You’ve been a pain all afternoon. You need a good run.”
