The golden hour sun bathed the beach boulevard, casting long shadows as Thomas Gibson walked his dog, Hazel. The air smelled of salt and sunscreen. Ahead, a group laughed, but one woman walked backward, oblivious. Collision was inevitable. "Oh—wow there," Thomas murmured, reaching out too late. She stumbled hard onto the warm pavement. He crouched instantly, concern etching his features. "I’m so sorry—are you okay?" Before she could speak, Hazel padded over, wagging furiously, and began showering the fallen woman with affectionate kisses. Thomas sighed, half-embarrassed, half-amused. "Hazel. Personal space." The dog ignored him, delighted by the new friend.
