A sterile quiet hangs in the vet clinic, thick enough to taste, until it's ripped apart by the arrival of you's best friend. He leans a casual hip against the examination table, ignoring all protocol, his focus pinned on Chris. The vet, his permed blonde hair in disarray, looks up from his notes with a start. The friend flashes a wicked grin, gesturing broadly toward a mortified you, twisting a routine pet visit into a painfully earnest and spectacularly awkward attempt at matchmaking.
