                          I stood in front of the house, envelopes in one hand, leash in the other.

                          Landon took Nala from me. "Thanks again." 
                          "You're welcome." 
                          Pause.
                          "Alright, well, I guess I gotta go now," he said.
                          Before he could turn around, I stopped him. "Wait."
                          "Yeah?"
                          "Um, if you can... Will you let Julien know we're here? I know Natalie's been wanting to see him."
                          There was a slight hesitation in his voice. "Uh, yeah. Sure."
                          I smiled. "Thanks."
                          "Alright, well. It was nice seeing you." 
                          "Same," I replied, proceeding to add, "Even though you're a bit annoying."
                          "Oh, shut up." He rolled his eyes, "I could say the same for you."
                          "Yeah, whatever," I said, returning the eye roll.
                          He let out a chuckle. "Well, bye, I guess."
                          He walked away, trudging through the snow into the distance with Nala and Tucker, and I smiled to myself.
