**************TALIA'S POV******************

"Tal, I got to go now. It's 1." Lindsay said kissing my cheek and petting Nala before she left.

I slumped upstairs with Nala and slammed down on my bed. Nala plopped down at the foot of my bed.

I woke up and got ready for a walk to the beach. I put on my shorts and Katy Perry shirt and laced up my shoes. I hooked the leash on Nala's collar and headed out closing my French door behind me.

I walked slower because she had a slight limp. I walked past a huge house as a boy with curls walked out.

"Is your dog ok?" He asked walking towards the sidewalk I was on.

"I don't know. She fell yesterday. I'm sure she's fine though." I responded.

"She's an oldie isn't she?" He said bending down to her and petting her fur.

"Yeah she's 10." I smiled. He looked at her collar and looked at her leg.

"Do you see that one ankle is swollen over here." He asked.

"No. What?" I said bending down next to him.

"You should get this checked out." He said.

"Is it that bad?" I said worried.

"By the looks of it yeah." He said before noticing how worried I was.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Harry. What's yours?" He responded.

"Talia. I live on Marion." I said.

"Call me." He smiled.

"Unlikely." I said as he handed me a paper which contained his number.

"You won't be saying that for long." He winked before continuing, "Yeah but if I were you I would go to a vet."

"Thanks. I should go now." I said politely stuffing the paper in my pocket.

"Bye Talia." He said. Nala nudged his hand as a goodbye and we walked off.

A lump in my throat formed just at the thought that could be something wrong with her.
