The big dog sat on the covered front porch of the two-story cabin. Body alert, eyes bright. When she got out of the car, she signaled release.
He bounded to her, all hundred and thirty pounds of him wriggling in joy.
“There’s my good boy. Best dog in the world. So smart. Just so smart.”
She gave him a brisk rub before retrieving her market bag.
“You wouldn’t believe the morning I had.”
She took out her keys as they walked to the house together on the narrow stone path.
“Minding my own business, buying supplies, and the chief of police comes into the market to interrogate me. What do you think of that?”
