Dawson
While deployed overseas, my girlfriend sent me a Dear John letter.
Now that I'm back stateside, the last thing I'm thinking about is getting tangled up with another woman.
Instead, I decide to adopt a dog.
Can't ask for more loyalty than that.
I go to the shelter to meet my future companion, and that's when I see her.
The most beautiful woman with the best curves.
I don't want my heart to get stomped on again, but I can't seem to stay away.
I have to her.
Tori
I work at the local animal shelter around my school schedule.
I'm studying to be a vet tech.
Animals are wonderful, loyal creatures.
And they don't ever break your heart—on purpose.
I just want to focus on my future and avoid any complications. I've been burned before, and I don't need that distraction.
But when Dawson shows up at the shelter to adopt a dog, my resolve weakens.
He's hot, he's Army, and he loves dogs.
I think I'm totally screwed.
