Layla flashed Bryce a reassuring smile but at the same time she was hoping he knew that that sandwich was not for now..nope, he'd just eaten after all, so after that smile faded it was replaced with a look.

Mhm watching you McLaughlin, especially with the puppies. She knew that if she wasn't there he'd probably not end up giving away any of them. It was quite sad though seeing how Bryce was very attached to his dogs but like she told him, giving some away was for the best. He was already giving three, not including Mr.Panda who she had claimed as her own since laying eyes on the suckling pup in his apartment.

She smiled encouragingly at the people there."You'll want to get a move before he changes his mind." Because that was looking very very likely.

But anyways, her attention was now solely on the beautiful little one year old in front of her reaching out for a lift up. Layla happily obliged and scooped her up.

"I haven't seen her as much as I'd like to either though." She replied to Colby tickling Belle's tummy and watching her squirm and giggle."Is she talking much yet?" she asked the proud father.

It wasn't much long after that Annabelle started reaching towards the puppies....
