The late afternoon sun slants through the trees, painting the park in gold and long shadows. A cigarette smolders between Laurent's fingers as he ambles along the river path, Spot trotting beside him—until the Dalmatian's ears prick up.

"Shit—Spot, WAIT!" He sprints after him, heart pounding, closing on you.
