#Chapter18
No, that wasn't what I needed to say. Even I knew that. I took a deep breath. I'd retry this. /"Look I’m sorry, I know what I said was wrong. I was just angry./" Weird, I'd thought apologizing would have been harder. Maybe because it was Theo?
I expected Theo to be upset with me snapping at him. But his voice was warm, concerned even. /"Where are you?/"
/"In the park,/" I replied with a deep sigh. /"I thought I could find something here, but no luck./"
/"You can come back if you want, he has calmed down. He's not going to run you out again. We are your ride home./"
I shook my head. I wasn't ready to give up yet. /"No, I think I will stay here for a bit longer. I’m looking for something./"
/"Looking for what? Did you lose something? Is that what you meant when you said no luck?/"
I tried to talk nonchalantly but it came out in a nervous cackle. I was about to admit my only friend was a stray dog. /"I’m looking for a dog./"
