thick coats. One by one, I filled up the bowls with cool water. As I
did so, a few dogs ran over to me, drinking the water straight out of the hose.
    Petting the
dogs behind the ears, I savored the moment. This was much, much better
than sitting in a stuffy gala wearing uncomfortable clothing. Even though
Jason Powers would be there, dressed in his nice fitted suit…
    Stop it!
    I berated
my subconscious for constantly bringing up that devil of a man. He had no
business occupying space in my mind.
    But he
was so sexy.
    Argh !
    For the next
few hours I focused on caring for the dogs and helping out Victoria, who seemed
to be having the time of her life. The more focused on my work I was, the less
time I’d have to think about Jason.
    Taking care
of the dogs turned out to be more draining than I expected. Before I knew it,
it was already past noon and my stomach was grumbling.
    “Mom! Are
you hungry?”
    “I could
eat,” she called out from the other side of the park.
    A couple of
owners had come by to pick up their dogs after spending all morning at the
park. Things were a bit slow now, but they were sure to pick up after the two
o’clock rush.
    “I’ll be
back!” I washed my hands and headed towards the gate into the park, where I saw
someone bringing in another dog.
    Was
that?
    No it
couldn’t be…
    It was!
    Jason
Powers was walking a puppy through the fair, and he was coming straight
towards me!
    “Oh, Sophia
- I didn’t think I’d run into you.”
    I folded my
arms across my chest. “I somehow doubt that’s true.”
    The puppy
was a golden retriever, and was clawing up my shins. The cute little ball of
gold fuzz was impossible to ignore. I bent down and started petting the little
guy behind his ears.
    “This is
Destroyer,” Jason said.
    “Destroyer?”
I laughed as the little puppy licked my palms. “He doesn’t look like a destroyer.”
    “You should
see what used to be my loafers in the car.” Jason smiled.
    I couldn’t
help but laugh at the idea of a puppy destroying an expensive pair of Jason
Powers’ shoes.
    “Wait -
this is your dog?”
    Jason
shrugged his shoulders. “Of course, why else would I be walking him?”
    “Jason -
please don’t tell me you bought a dog just to come visit me here. Wait,
shouldn’t you be at the gala right now?”
    “No, I
didn’t buy this dog just to visit you. And yes, I should be at the gala. You know,
it’s mighty forward of you to think that I do all these things for you.” He
traced his thumb along his delicate lips.
    I bit my
lip as I looked at him.
    “Well, you
have done a lot of crazy things so far.”
    “When I do
crazy things, it’s because the outcome is usually worth it.” The corner of his
mouth hooked up into a smirk.
    I melted a
little on the inside.
    Why did
Jason Powers have to be so damn sexy?
    “Shit,” I said, as I watched another
dog-owner walk by us and check their dog into the dog park. “I have to go get
some lunch for my mom. She’s been here all day.”
    “I’ll go,”
Jason said.
    “That’s
nice of you but it’s unnecessary-”
    “Sophia,
don’t worry about it.” He said my name with such conviction that I avoided any
further arguing.
    Handing Destroyer
off to me, Jason walked off towards the food vendors. Picking up the soft puppy
in my arms, I looked at his tags, which had been registered just over a week
ago. Before I met Jason .
    I cocked my
eyebrow, watching as Jason disappeared into the fair.
    What’s
your game, Jason Powers?
    Destroyer
licked my face as I made my way back to the dog park.
    Jason
returned with two armfuls full of nachos, sandwiches, corn dogs, and drinks.
    “Wow.”
    “I wasn’t
sure what you liked so I got a bit of everything.”
    “I can see
that.”
    “Is that a
corn dog?” Victoria
walked towards us and helped me relieve Jason of all the junk food.
    “It sure
is.” Jason smiled. “I’m Jason.” He put his hand out and shook Victoria’s.
    “Nice to
meet you, Jason. I’m
