And see the dog, Chai did. Cody had been distracted looking for the particular brand of frozen vegetables they usually bought, and his grip had loosened as his mind focused on other things. His only warning was a huge, excited gasp from the three year old's direction, before her hand suddenly slipped out of his and she was halfway down the aisle in a matter of seconds. Cody made a startled noise and turned sharply to stare at lightup princess sneakers flashing down the aisle towards the dog and owner, and panic seized him, driving his legs forward. "Chai! Chai, wait a second--" he gasped, not wanting to shout in the store but wanting to get Chai's attention all the same.
The dog looked up as Chai approached and, despite its friendly appearance, it was certainly on alert and tense, putting itself between child and owner. Cody caught up at the last moment, puffing for breath as his fingers snatched the back of Chai's shirt, and he scooped her up from behind, eyes wide and glasses terribly askew as he looked at the woman. "I-I'm so, so sorry--she got away from me, ah--" He turned to Chai, which didn't require much turning, given she was kicking and squirming in his grasp to get away and get closer to the large ball of fluffy sunshine she so deserved to pet. "Chai, pl-please don't run off! You're not supposed to touch the dog, okay...? I'm sorry," he added, half to Chai and half to the woman as he looked back at her with a wincing smile.
But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair
