Here’s the thing though....Luke making Ashton warm up to the idea of a puppy is my favorite idea. Because he’s used to cleaning up messes from his younger siblings, and he doesn’t want to look after a puppy that’s more trouble than it’s worth. The mud and potty-training were his least favorite parts of his early teens with Indie and various other dogs. He is the responsible one in his family—so he always got left with the most vile of tasks. So, pets are out of the question when he moves in with Luke who already has a hard time cleaning up after himself. But then he watches the sparkle in Luke’s big cerulean eyes and watches his lip stretch into a pout every time they pass the pet shop. He can’t stand to see Luke yearn. He couldn’t even tell Luke “no” when the younger boy wakes him up in the middle of the night and asks for an entire breakfast. So, he buys him a puppy, and he’s the one to train her and he gets grumpy and teases Luke about how fat she is and he’s all fun and games, but that dog—much like Luke—had some how weaseled her way into Ashton’s guarded heart and become part of his home. And he lives for how happy she makes his only happiness.
