SIXTY-THREE

IRIS'S POV.

"Wait Rufus come on ! Don't make me chase you

All around the palace again!"

He gave a little funny squeak that was suppose to be his bark and I chuckled. He didn't stop though so I gathered my red gown with both hands and run after him.

"The library is that way Rufus ! Stop!"

I was beginning to regret bringing him along. Celestine said he was restless because he was always indoors. I'll have to start taking him for walks. That is if Regan agrees.

Turning the corner, I bent over to check under the tables.

"Rufus.... Rufus where are you? "

Right behind the table I found him gnawing on an old rag.

"There you're!"

I grabbed him and turned to walk away, halting when I saw a pair of legs .

"I see your husband got you a companion in his absence"

She chuckled. Faking a smile,

"Hi to you too Paula. I'm great. You? That, is the proper way to address a fellow person. Need help learning some manners,you know where to find me"
