She was bouncing quite a bit more than she would have liked, but that was the pace set by the French Bulldog, named Sasha, whom she was running behind....Sasha pulled hard against the six-foot leash and Emma did all she could to keep up. As she jogged she thought to herself that she would have to talk to the Sampsons (Sasha’s owners) about springing for some extra time dedicated to leash training. She finally got to take a breather when Sasha saw a pug that caught her fancy.Sasha stopped short. "Marquis d'Astouse."I rolled my eyes. It was one thing to be an atavist, but insisting onantiqued personal captions was plain silly.The driver continued, "If I'd praise him like I wanted to, you wouldassume that I was speaking to the surveillance."That was true. I nodded."Thus I'll only say that he's a man of vision. A rare breed in thesedays."So, a wealthy madman. I shouldn't have expected anything less. I curledup and tried to sleep.A jolt going through the whole car woke me up. Outside the. She was right, I knew she was, we looked like two hot girls ready for anight out but that was just the thing, we were not two girls and I wasn'tready for this.N: I?m sorry Susan, I really am, but I can't go out like this.Trying to calm me down, Susan hugged me and I accepted her warm embrace.S: OK, maybe you are right, maybe you are not ready yet... But you willbe.N: I don't know, this is all new to me. I really like hanging out withyou and I do love the way you?ve made me look, but...S: No. You won't be dissapointed." We said our goodbyes and it was getting late, so I laid in bed and waited for Peter to get home. Once he walked in I called out from the bedroom, "How was your day, Pete?" It was rough. I haven't been this stressed out in a while. The Lewis case is driving me crazy", he sighed as he cracked open a cold beer and laid down on the couch. I felt bad for him and wanted to do something to release his tension, so I walked into the bathroom and quickly took off.
