The puppies jump and kiss you and Alhaitham eagerly, as you try to calm them down. Two of corgis jump up at you two, knocking you over onto the floor, and the rest clamber onto the both of you playfully

“Remind me why you asked me to help you puppy-sit, again?” Alhaitham asks, trying to mask the very obvious smile on his face as a puppy licks the back of his hand.

You smile and help alhaitham up from the floor, dusting both of yourselves off as you remove the dog hairs.
