Chapitre 15: A Run in the Park Pt. 2

Aláine's Point of View

I had run around the park once, but Axel still needed more running. As usual, I had a tennis ball in my pocket for him. While we were playing our game, I noticed a man standing close to me watching both me and Axel.

"What a lovely dog he is," the man stated, "a husky, right?"

"Yes," I replied.

"I'd often thought of getting a dog. Do Huskies make good pets?" he asked.

"Yes," I replied again.

I had a good look at the guy speaking to me. He was handsome, I supposed, but not like Kristof. I found my natural inclination to compare any man to Kristof amusing since I had only just met him.

I was not sure I liked the look of this guy. There was something off about him, but I couldn't put my finger on it. He was attractive enough; I'd give him that, but there was more to someone than good looks. He lacked whatever that was, so I didn't smile at him.
