The man watched silently as Zaria played with the puppy a little before gently taking it back into the car, treating it better than she had ever treated him.

When Zaria arrived, Theodore was confused when he saw her. "You adopted a dog?" He knew that his daughter didn't have a particular fondness towards animals and it was not very likely for her to adopt a pet.
"My boss gave it to me." She responded as she gently took the puppy out of the crate. After work, she had taken him along to shop for his food, toys, and snacks. He had fallen asleep on their way back.
Theodore frowned as he watched her gently place Des on a couch before unpacking the things she had bought.
"Zaria…?" He drawled out her name suspiciously like he always did when he suspected that she had done something wrong.
"Mmh?" She tilted her head and looked at him innocently.
His gaze turned strict. "Why would your boss randomly give you a puppy for no reason?"
