In truth, Alina didn't really notice the mutt until it started growling. The fur blended in so well with their surroundings. Still, Alina whined in annoyance at being handled. She wanted to go. And she did just that, darting at a faster pace once released.
Even now, Alina didn't know much of her father. Had never really cared to know. Knew the man last year wasn't him, but she hadn't liked him too much either. Didn't really trust many men. Willie, she did. Josiah was a boy, so she sort of trusted him to a degree.
She kept going with a lack of knowledge that her mother's eyes had wandered. And then she spotted it. The chips place! Having actually gone the right way, she was proud of herself as she happily went inside. Not hearing her mother's panicked voice soon after.
