Alexander considered going home. He felt awkward about simply walking into someone’s house, even if he was invited to. As he turned towards the path, he saw a dog approaching him.
Alexander: Oh hello! You must live here too!
Bea bounced towards the new human in her garden, intent on investigating him.
Alexander: If I had known that you lived her, I would have brought Luiz. He would like you!
Dogs always made Alexander feel less anxious. Meeting Bea made him feel a little more comfortable about staying, although he would have much prefered to have had Luiz with him; he had left him at home as he wasn’t sure if he would be welcome or not.
