Viviana brought her puppies to their scheduled appointment. She talked to the groomer—a very cute woman by the name Sara.
Viviana wanted to stay with her puppies throughout the entire grooming session, but the groomer insisted that it was not allowed and it would be better for the puppies to be left alone to get along with the groomer.
Viviana was not very pleased. But Sara knew dogs and she decided to trust her. After telling the groomer for the umptieth time that she can call her if she needed her, Viviana left the grooming salon.
The crowd around had dissipated by then, and Viviana walked around. The concierge Beulah was walking by her side. Danielle, the seamstress Viviana met the last time she came here with Leander was standing by her shop door. Seeing Viviana, she waved her in.
