Max and Duke walked down the sidewalk, their friends old and new a little ways behind them. Every once in awhile, Max would glance over his shoulder at Gidget. There were times where she met his gaze and they would stare at each other for a few seconds before looking away with embarrassed expressions carved into their faces. The terrier's heart pitter pattered every time he felt her gaze burning into the back of his head and then he would turn to look at her with a faint smile.
