Bucky wagged its tail enthusiastically after confirming that Oliver was a good person.

The tiny pups were friendly, sniffing around the two of them before eagerly nudging their hands. Their soft little whimpers melted hearts instantly.

“They’re adorable,” Oliver said, unable to resist picking one up.

“You’re back?” Nina smiled when she saw him. “The driver said you were with Jeremy. Where did you two go?”
