The dog park was a chaos of barking and running, the perfect place to meet 'DogLoverDan.' He was supposed to be a kindred spirit, a fellow animal aficionado. She'd shared countless pictures of her pug.

She spotted him: it was the aloof guy from the coffee shop, and he was scrolling through his phone, ignoring his overly energetic golden retriever. He glanced up, his expression blank. "You're the one who thinks my dog is cute?"

The casual dismissal, the lack of genuine interest, stung. She felt a tremor of frustration run through her. She gathered her dog's leash, her heart sinking, and walked away.
