Hayden had seen Carlos several times before, but Carlos had never talked to him. Hayden had wondered for a long tif Carlos had a problem with him. But now, he realized that he’d just been imagining things.

Unaware of what she actually meant, Hayden commented with a smile, “No matter how much he likes her, it’s just a dog. Are you saying that you are not even as important as a dog in his heart?”
