"LEXI NO!"

I remove the ice pack from my face to watch the commotion. Ethan is chasing Lexi around the lounge area, a spoon perched in the dog's mouth. Harry is crying with laughter in the couch, Tobi chuckling next to him. Vik enters with Olive snuggled into his arms. He pauses in the doorway, watching his ginger friend fail to retrieve the utensil.

"If you ask her nicely, she'll give it back."

"Bullshit."

"Say please and she'll give it. If you're harsh though, she won't."

"Lexi?"

The dog skids to a stop, still keeping a wary eye on Ethan.

"Lexi, you precious pitbull you. May I have my spoon back? I'd really like to eat my ice cream, please."

Ethan face lights up as Lexi drops the now slobbery spoon into his palm. Disgust contorts his face as all of our laughter renews.

"Better than nothing Ethan."

"Shut the hell up and get me a new one Vikram."
