Author's POV

Aria’s eyes softened as she looked at him. She whispered, “I don’t know. I found him under a car in the parking lot at my university. He was badly injured, someone had hurt him,” she said, anger mixed with sadness filling her eyes.

“Are you going to keep him?” Sylvia questioned.

Aria ran her hand across his fur. “I don’t know,” she admitted.

“I will take care of him till he heals, but… I don’t think I can keep him here…”

“He trusts you,” Sumati said, seeing his behavior, a small smile on her lips.

Avani smiled and nodded. She patted the dog’s head softly. “Maybe he just needs time,” she said.
