"Can you help me?" She said batting her eyelashes at him. I rolled my eyes and looked at Henry.

"Yeah." He lifted it and she rang it up. He sat it down on the floor next to him and pulled some cash out of his back pocket and plucked a few bills until he had the right ones. I looked at the bills in his hand. There was a fifty and a twenty in his hands.

"It's sixty five dollars and thirty five cents." She said. He must have read her mind or something.

"Keep the change." He said as he handed her the money. She put the cash into the cash register and closed it.

"Anything else?" She asked him.

"Ummm… actually it would be nice if you would quit flirting with him." I said. She looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Stay out of this." She said snottily and she turned back to Henry and smiled.

"I would like it if-"

"If what?" She cut Henry off. She leaned in eagerly and he backed away.

"I would like it if you would not talk to my girlfriend like that." He repeated as he rubbed my arm. She opened her mouth to say something, but stopped. She turned back to her magazine and didn't look up as I grabbed the bag and Henry grabbed the dog food. We walked out of the door and to the car. Henry put the dog food in the trunk and got into the driver seat as I put the dog tag on the collar. I fastened the collar onto the puppy and sat him in the back seat and told him to stay. I walked around and got into the passenger seat. I buckled up and turned to Henry.

"Well, let's go. You need to hunt don't you?" I asked. He pulled out of the parking space and onto the highway.

I slid on the pajamas that I had worn the first time I had slept over at Henry's house. It was 11:30pm by the time we had made it home. Henry had left to go hunting and I had come home with the puppy and given him the bath he really needed and fed him some dog food and a little bit of scraps. I walked out and sat down on the couch. With Henry hunting, I was all-alone with my new puppy. I decided to think of names for him so I closed my eyes and relaxed. Well maybe I should call him Henry, but here would be so much confusion, so maybe Mason. Yeah, Mason. I opened my eyes and looked around for him.

"Mason!!" I called. I heard pitter patter on the kitchen floor and looked towards it. "There you are Mason!" I said in a high voice. I was rubbing him and petting him. He looked much better after I had fed him and had given him a bath. I heard a knock on the door and Mason started to bark and freak out.

"Shhh…" I whispered. Mason stopped barking and followed me to the door. I looked out of the window and saw my grandparents standing there waiting for anyone to open the door. My grandpa was fumbling with the keys, trying to find the right one. I unlocked the door and opened it for them. Mason growled as they walked in. I snapped my fingers at him. He yelped and walked into the living room. He laid down under the table and I looked back at my grandparents. My grandpa was already moving to the dinning room to put the things in his hands down. My grandma was standing in front of me, staring.

"What?" I said nervously. She looked at me for a second.

"What Kaitlin? Why is there a dog in my house?!" She screamed.

"Well when Henry and I were on our way to the store, I saw Mason on the ground. I couldn't just leave him there and it's not like he's going to be here forever, he is coming home with me." I told her.

"How are you going to do that?" She asked.

"Henry is leaving a day early to take everything back, so he's going to take Mason, the dog, back." I lied.

"Fine Kaitlin, speaking of Henry, where is he?" She asked curiously.

"He went to get some things for Mason and set up some appointments for him too." I lied again.

"Okay, you sleep in the spare room and Henry sleeps out here on the couch or you both can sleep downstairs, in separate bedrooms, because I trust you both enough." She told me.

"Well even if you didn't trust us, Henry and his family are old fashioned so we wouldn't, you know." I said.

"Okay good, now give me and your grandpa a kiss." She said sweetly. I walked over to her and kissed her cheek. She hugged me and my grandpa came up to me and hugged me. I kissed his cheek and called Mason out from under the table. He pranced up to me and sat down wagging his tail. I heard my grandparent's door close and I went to the spare bedroom. I started to gather up my things and put them in the bag. I grabbed the pillows off of the bed and walked out of the spare bedroom. I sat everything on the couch in the living room and turned around to get Henry's bag. I walked back into the spare bedroom and grabbed his bag. I put it over my shoulder and walked back into the living room. I put my bag on my other shoulder and tucked the pillows under my arm. I walked to the basement door and opened it. I threw everything downstairs and grabbed Mason, who was trailing behind me. As soon as I had picked him up, there was a knock on the door. I turned and slowly walked over to it. Mason started to growl.

"Shhh…" I whispered. He stopped and looked up at me in my arms. I looked out the window and saw Henry smiling at me. I smiled and opened the door.
