“Thanks for your help today.” At the end of the street, Alessia said goodbye to Eddie.

“Are you sure you’ll be alright on your own? I could come in with you, just in case,” Eddie offered, looking concerned.

“No need. Go on, get home. See you next week.”

Knowing how stubborn Alessia could be, Eddie let it go. With her watching, he got in his car and drove off.

York snorted and looked away, a touch of pride in his voice. “Sure, whatever. His family’s so poor, no wonder he’s never seen such a handsome dog.”

York huffed in protest, but Alessia just smiled and turned her attention to Ivan, her tone softening.
