“Would you like to go somewhere together?” Sora asked, staring out into the open, not knowing where Aysen was.
“Sure. Where?” he asked.
“Come with me, we’ll take a small walk,” Sora smiled. She went to the door. “Mom! I’m taking a small walk, I’ll be back in an hour or so!” she yelled.
“O.K., darling! Make sure to take Noah with you!” a voice called back form the kitchen.
“Who’s Noah?” Aysen asked.
“You’ll see,” Sora smiled. She went out into the yard. “Noah! No-ah! Here, boy! We’re going for a walk!” Sora felt her way to the right corner of the yard and picked up a harness and her walking stick.

There was a deep bark and a bronze colored Golden Retriever bounded up to Sora and jumped on her. He started licking her face like nuts.

“Okay, okay! Stop with the licking, already. I know you’re happy,” Sora laughed. She clipped the harness onto Noah and took her stick.

Noah led her to the yard’s door. She swung it open with an elegant hand.

“Shall we?” Sora smiled.
