Second Thoughts
“Max said disgustedly as he trudged into the farmhouse that afternoon.
He stood aside while a morose Petey followed him in. As Max watched him, concern seemed to replace his irritation.

Christopher’s face brightened, but he directed a questioning look at his friend, awaiting his approval before making a move.MoreLess
