a/n: happy Easter if you've made it this far. All the love :))

Amber POV

I felt like I needed to show Harry a special part of me. I wanted to know who he truly was too and this is what I could think of to help explain who I am.

I told him I would drive since I know where we're going and the car ride is filled with silence besides the every few minutes Harry asks me where we're going and I just respond with a "it's a surprise!"

We pull up to the place and he looks at me confusidly. "Are you comin or what?" I ask him as I unbuckle my seat belt and open the door. We both get out and walk inside. "What are we doing here?"

"You'll see"

Mary then comes up to the counter and her face lights up when she sees who it is. "Amber! It's so lovely to see you back, it's been a couple days" she pouts "I know! I'm sorry, I brought a friend today" I look to Harry and smile. "Well it's nice to meet you..."
"Harry"
"It's nice to meet you, Harry" she smiles "Why don't you go on back" she hands me the keys.
"Thank you, Mary" I smile and make my way to the door. "Welcome, darlin" I hear her say. I unlock the door and Harry's face lights up when he sees all the puppies. There are about 40 puppies here, about 10 in each play pen. I grab Harry's hand and tug it while he looks at me with amazement. "Come on" I laugh. I pull him into one of the play pens and sit down and as soon as I do, puppies start to attack me. Getting excited. I pull Harry to sit next to me and puppies start attacking him too, jumping up to lick his face while he laughs, dimples full on display and I swear I could melt at how much my heart is warming at the sight.

"Do you come here a lot?"

"As often as I can, these little puppies are my life. They just bring me joy. Whenever I'm upset or something, you know, I just come here. It's like their happiness is spread to me. I know that sounds stupid but I don't have many friends."

"It's not stupid, it's sweet." He assured me and I smiled. I'm glad he thinks I'm not crazy.

"Why'd you bring me here?"

"Well I just wanted to show you a piece of my life. It's kind of like my sacred spot in a way, I help the puppies find homes and not just puppies, other dogs as well and it helps fill my heart... I guess?" I laughed. He stared at me with a smirk.

"What?" I laughed again

"I think you have the biggest heart out of anyone I know"

I didn't know what to say so I just stared at him. Wow, great time to be awkward Amber. Say something before he thinks you're crazy, maybe?

"I think the same about you"

Good good you said something. And he smiled... I love that smile

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, sure"

"Who was the person who called you the other day, and why is your ring tone No Control?" He laughed. God I love that laugh.

"Oh.. that was my other best friend. I know I told you Sadie was my best friend, and she is but I also have another best friend.. we're just in a rough patch right now." I sign "But to answer your second question, it's my second favorite One Direction song" I laugh embarrassingly and he tries to hold back a laugh

"I'm sorry, I'm here if you want to talk about it. I promise... but um... why is it your second favorite song?" He laughs "And what's your first?" He furrows his brows.

"Thank you... and you don't get to know that yet, can't embarrass myself too much! My first favorite is End Of The Day" I smile

"You have a nice taste in music, Mrs. Smith"
