ASHTON'S POV
"Canada day!" Lulu exclaimed when we woke up.

"Yay!" I said trying to hide the fear in my voice.

We got all our stuff and drove over to Luke's house so he could doggysit Gatsby.

"Puppy play date with Tunie and Gatsby while mommy and daddy are away!" Luke sang when we dropped him off.

"Be a good boy, okay? I love you so much." Lulu said kissing his head.

Gatsby stuck out his paw to Lulu.

"I'm the one who bought the freaking dog and I don't get this much love out of him." I said.

"Aw. Is someone jealous?" She asked as Luke laughed.

"No. I don't need to be when I have your love." I said.

"Okay you crazy kids. Don't you have a flight to catch? Gatsby's in great hands don't worry!" He said.

"We trust him. Right?" I asked when we got into the Uber.

"Of course we do. Petunia turned out fine." Lulu said.

I chuckled as we reached the airport.

"Who's picking us up from the airport?" I asked when we got on the plane.

"Tag." She said.

"Tag?" I asked.

"Yeah. Is that okay?" Lulu asked.

"Yeah, yeah." I said trying to play it cool.

"It'll be fine, babe. Tag only senses fear if you show it." She said.

"Wow that helped. Thanks so much, sweetheart." I said.

"Relax, Ash. I'm joking. There's nothing to be worried about." Lulu said holding my hand.

"Okay, okay. But for my wellbeing, how scary is Tag?" I asked.

"Oh he's not that bad." She said.

"Easy for you to say! You grew up with him!" I said.

"Let's just say he's calmed down a lot." Lulu said.

"Explain, baby." I said.

"Alright, so when my first boyfriend broke up with me, Tag drove over to his house and punched him in the nose. The kid started bleeding and he had to go to the hospital because Tag broke his nose. But he's not going to do that because he's learned from his mistakes." She said.

"Do you think he'll like me?" I asked.

"If you tell him that you only have good intentions and show it, then yes." Lulu said.

"Then this whole trip, prepared to be smothered in love and affection, babe." I said.
