Tension.
"Stop barking, you idiot." Mia yelled at the hairy and fluffy Maltese dog while still holding Leo tightly.
When she turned her head to the side and noticed the dog standing on its hind legs while barking, desperately trying to reach her, she screamed and began to move up and down again.
"Don't just stand there. Do something." Mia scolded Leo who had been standing there like a statue.
When he came back to his senses, he felt terrible for enjoying the whole thing and frowned.
"Tara, it's enough" He looked down at the dog. She stopped barking and sat on the floor while wagging her tails.
"You should go down now." Leo said to Mia whose head was buried in the crook of his neck.
Leo's heart was beating fast and he feared she would hear it. He wasn't a saint after all.
