Chloe had just buried her face into a cake when a small tap on her window stole her attention away. Perplexed, she slowly turned around to find Pops on the fire escape outside. Cross, she dragged her feet towards the old dog and opened the window for him. "Rhonda, can I talk to you?" Pops politely asked.

Turning to leave, he looked back at Chloe and whispered, "I'm not going to let that beast lay one filthy paw on you, my sweet Rhonda." With that, the old dog left.

"Whatever," Chloe scoffed, plunging her face into the cake once more.
