Maxie emerged from the groomers' backroom like she had just come from a K-pop music video shoot. Her coat was bright and shiny, her ears were fluffed and rounded like clouds, and two bows decorated her ears.
She looked like a demon disguised as an angel. A hellhound from heaven.
Zeno felt a small doki-doki in his chest. However, he pushed it down.
"Let's go," he muttered as Maxie strutted out. He opened the door for her. She didn't even look back. Absolute diva.
They walked a few blocks until Zeno stopped at the intersection, gaze lingering toward a familiar alley.
"There's an ice cream place near Doha's gym," he said to Maxie. "You won't like it, but I will. And I deserve this."
Maxie looked up at him and yawned. That counted as approval.
So he turned left, walked a bit more, and spotted an ice cream truck painted in pastel. It was like a unicorn had vomited all over it.
