“She turned to call the dog, saw he had made his way down to the creek and was swimming between the boats. ‘Cooper!’ She hissed his name quietly, not wanting to disrupt the silence of the morning. When he ignored her, she tottered down to the water’s edge. ‘Cooper! Come here now!’ She could hardly go wading in after him with her crutches and was debating what to do when a female voice came from behind her. ‘Cooper!’ Lila turned to see a woman standing on the muddy bank. Although casually dressed, her blonde haircut looked expensive, as did the emerald-coloured silk scarf that was looped around her neck. The woman whistled loudly and the dog’s head shot up. ‘Cooper! Come here now.’ He seemed to recognise her, paddling furiously towards the shore.”

“He heard his mother call through from the kitchen as he opened the front door. ‘Jack, is that you?’ ‘Yep, and I’ve brought company.’ Delicious smells wafted down the hallway as he went to find her, Cooper scrambling ahead, his nose already excited by the scent.”

She reached in the cupboard for a tumbler, filled it with water and downed the glass before rinsing it under the tap. Cooper tried to follow as she headed back towards the stairs, whimpering in protest when she told him no. Although he slunk back into the kitchen, Lila suspected he was planning on sneaking upstairs when he thought the coast was clear.”
Keri Beevis, Dying To Tell
“The dog glanced back as if to ask why she wasn’t coming, Jack didn’t, and then they were both gone.”
Keri Beevis, Dying To Tell
“woofed, as if to say, ‘So are you coming?’, and grabbing her crutches, she reluctantly followed.”
Keri Beevis, Dying To Tell
“Jack didn’t answer her, had already strode towards the front door, Cooper charging after him. The dog glanced back at Lila and”

He glanced at the dog. ‘So, that went well.’ Cooper grinned up at him, barked again.”

“She would order takeaway as soon as she was home, indulge in a bubble bath with a glass of wine while she waited for the delivery. Pyjamas, cuddles with Clyde, maybe check out the new horror film she had seen advertised on Netflix, and she would feel much better.”

“Saturday evening loomed ahead of Lila and she had no plans, no company. Usually it wouldn’t bother her. Lila enjoyed her own company, liked having her independence. It was the frustration of having the cast on her leg, hindering everything. Typically on a Saturday evening with no plans, she would get in the car, head out on an adventure with her camera, but of course she couldn’t drive, so was effectively tied to the flat.
