Puppy Love (challenge: Gifts)

It was a study comparing wolves and dogs. Cassie saw it in the mall with Rachel last week. She had been a mere three dollars short to purchase it.

And now here it was, on her doorstep, an unsigned card attached.

"Cassie, I'm glad you love my friends."

Something about the inhumanly straight handwriting and the combination of the words 'love' and 'friends' in reference to dogs still gave her a shrewd idea of the giver, though, and she sighed.

Someone who had once given up his soul for her life now seemed willing to give her his heart, too.
