closed starter for @fayeolsen
“Okay, so here’s the thing,” Will started as he leaned against the bar at Atomic Liquors, looking across at Faye, “I’m not saying that I’m necessarily going to get one, but would you want to come to Paw Rescue with me to just look at the dogs they have?” he asked, making sure to make it absolutely clear he wasn’t promising he’d leave the rescue center with an adopted puppy or something.
Winnie, as Will’s not actually related little sister, had been on Will’s case since the beginning of time to get a dog. He was too ‘lonely’ with his big old apartment that he lived in by himself and could use something to soften him up a bit, in her words. And while Will liked having his own space, he had to admit that having some sort of companion might be nice. And there wasn’t anybody who he’d rather go dog window shopping with than Faye. She knew him better than most and wouldn’t get carried away and insist he go home with a poodle or any of that nonsense. He looked up to meet her gaze, “I’m not making any promises, but Winnie says if I don’t do something soon to soften me up a bit, my reputation as the town grump will become permanent.” he added with a chuckle.
