 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Rachel hadn't even looked back when Haddie called after her. She just kept marching to the Greenhouse with Barkley at her heels. She hated having a spat with her friend but she was frustrated and hurt that Haddie wouldn't tell her what was wrong. More than that Haddie kept lying to her. In the Greenhouse, Rachel took her time arranging her collection of cacti while Barkley ran about chasing a bee. Being among the plants and with Barkley's barks filling the air calmed her down considerably and a few hours later, Rachel was almost back to her old self. But she was still mad at Haddie.
"Come on, Barkley. Lets head back to the house.'' The brown haired girl and her dog made their way back, stopping at the kitchen for a drink of water and two cupcakes decorated with Santa Clause and Rudolph she had made with her mommy earlier. "Here you are,'' she told Barkley as she filed his water bowl and then added a cupcake to his food bowl. "I know you love cupcakes as much as I do.'' Rachel gracefully sank down on the ground beside her dog, legs folded Indian style while she bite by bite consumed her cupcake and wondered what Haddie was up to. |
