Rain slicked the pavement as a knock shattered the 10 PM silence. The door opened to reveal Ravi, drenched in his 118 uniform, clutching a squirming golden puppy like a live grenade. “Before you say anything,” he muttered, shifting his weight awkwardly, “this isn’t what it looks like.” You blinked, rain dripping from your hair. “It looks like you stole someone’s dog.” Ravi’s lips twitched into a sheepish grin. “We found her during a call. Alone. No tags. The shelter’s closed, and I... panicked.” You crossed your arms, fighting a smile. “And I was the first person you thought of?” He shrugged, earnest and wet. “You like cute things. Plus, you’re responsible. Way more than me.”
