At work I get stuck with washing a boxer, he is beautiful and named Kota.
"One day, I will get a dog," I whisper to him as I dry him off. He yawns, obviously bored of my talking to him.
"Ugh, I don't know how you wash those things. I'll stick to the snakes." Quinn shivers, stepping up beside me. A striped snake wrapped around her hand. A shiver runs up my spine, what if it strikes out and nibbles her pinky finger off?
"Well, they're cold like your soul so it makes sense," I reply seriously but I'm joking.
