"Chris, wait!" I loudly say, watching him opening the door of his car. "Wait, I-I need your opinion on something, do you have a little extra time, maybe?" I ask, finally getting to him with the puppy in my arms. "Ofcourse, yeah, definitely!" he happily replies, making me smile.

"Okay, so um... I was thinking, and... See, this puppy was really scared all the time, around the rest of the dogs and inside with the kids but..." I tell, while Chris smiles.

"Do you think I should... Well, I think I might want to... I-I think I'm going to adopt him. What do you think? Should I?" I ask, knowing that I really want to take this little one home with me.

"I think you should, he looks comfortable with you and you'd be an amazing dog-mom" Chris replies, making me smile. "You think so?" I ask, taking his hand now that I finally can.

"Most definitely yes, no doubts about that" he chuckles, making me laugh with him. "Thanks, I think I'm going to do it!" I happily say, and we both smile again. "Alright, I um... I should go now, it's a 4 hour ride so..." I silently add, not wanting to go just yet.

"Yeah, right, um... I'll uh, I'll see you in 3 months then" Chris replies looking at our hands as he holds mine a little tighter. "Right! You're coming to New York in 3 months!" I giggle.

"Yeah, I'll be there for 5 months so, I think we're good" he chuckles, and we both laugh again. "Text me when you get home?" he asks before I let go of his hand. I nod my head, and already regret the thing I'm going to do.

I run my hand through his hair once, place it on the back of his neck and stand on my tippy toes to give him a little kiss on his cheek. I back off again, and look into his happy eyes. He's smiling bright, and blushes a little too! I softly smile back at him, walk away and drive off again.

I keep smiling the whole time while I drive towards New York, thinking about Chris. Once I finally get back to New York after 4 hours of driving with the little puppy next to me, I text chtus about arriving.

Befire going home, I go to the animal shelter and take care of everything that needs to be done to get this little boy home with me. I order in all the things he needs, and it's arriving tomorrow! Right now, I'm doing the paperwork with my coworkers.

"So, what are you going to call him?" the woman behind the desk asks, making me look up. I think about it for a second, and already know what om going to say.

"Cap. I'm going to call him Cap" I reply, smiling at her. "Cap, that's a great name!" she adds, writing it down for me. I thank her, finish the paperwork and take Cap home.

"Ready to go get some sleep?" I ask, looking at the little puppy in bed next to me. He gets a little closer to me, and cuddles up. "You're adorable" I giggle, and I grab my phone.
