The sudden acquisition of a new, massive, and expensive dog - a Great Dane, no less - had set Maria's mind ablaze. She saw Mr. Peterson, the man who lived next door, walking this behemoth of a hound, and the implications of this lavish purchase were immediately clear. Maria felt a current of fizzy energy tingling through her veins.

She practically vibrated. She knew she had to know more. She found herself “accidentally” bumping into Mrs. Peterson at the grocery store, asking questions about the dog's pedigree, its vet bills, and the sheer audacity of its size. Maria wanted to learn everything, the very next moment, about the Petersons.
