Miranda wriggled on the ground and giggled at the way she kept licking her hand. Hmz, maybe she was hungry. But she had food in her little bowl thingy, and Masterson had probably already fed her.

As Roma got closer, Miranda tentatively leaned closer and was soon hugging the creature. Huh, this was new. But a hug was a hug...and for whatever reason, Miranda felt her eyes get blurry and she didn't even notice the tears until they trickled down her cheek.

"Oh, sorry Roma," she sniffed, straightening up again. "Didn't mean to get your furr all sploshed." She stroked the beautiful dog.

Hmz, maybe Masterson could let her take Roma out for a walk.
Would be a nice way to get her mind off things.
