Chapter Text
“Do you think anyone’s even going to come?” Garrett asked, nervously fixing the sign in front of him. “I mean…I didn’t even know people didthis stuff anymore.”
Isabela dismissed him with a wave, rolling her eyes in the process.
“Trust me, sweets, I had them lining up around the block last year. You’ll be plenty busy.”
She grinned, grabbing him by the shoulders before forcibly positioning him behind the makeshift booth. It was a beautiful day, the last remnants of summer drifting through the air as the park quickly filled with animals and their owners. The Kirkwall Animal Shelter held an annual “Paws for the Cause” fundraiser every year to help raise funds and awareness for the adoptable animals. And while he was a frequent participant, this year Bela had goaded him into going the extra step and literally put his money where his mouth is.
“Isn’t the kissing booth supposed to be for the animals, though?” Garrett continued. He glanced around, feeling his face turn hot when he noticed the curious glances being thrown his way.
“I mean…who doesn’t want a kiss from a happy dog?” He reached over, absentmindedly petting the large dog lying happily at his feet. If anything, he thought, people would be more interested in Woofy than his dumb face.
Bela fixed him with a steady look before checking one more time to make sure his sign was straight.

“Now pucker up.”
