Paul’s Casual Comment
The next day, Paul leaned over the fence, chatting as casually as ever. “Saw Rocky with another owner a while back,” he mentioned, scratching his chin.
The words took me by surprise. Rocky barked as if he had more to spill, but Paul continued, “Yeah, he seemed to wander a lot back then.” I nodded, a puzzle forming in my mind.
Rocky wasn’t as lost as I’d thought, and that made me want to know more.
