With the dog wash fundraiser gaining momentum, my determination to make it a
success was stronger than ever. The next morning, I dialed Penny's number and
anxiously waited for her to pick up. When her voice finally came through the line,
1 wasted no time.
“Penny, I need your help with something.”
Her response was immediate, her tone business-like. “Of course, Evie. What do
you need?”
“I want to make sure the paparazzi are there at the dog wash fundraiser,” I
explained. “Can you arrange it?"
There was a pause on the other end, followed by a thoughtful hum. “Consider it
done, Evie. I'll make sure the best of the best are there.”
I nodded, even though she couldn't see me. “We appreciate it.”
After the call with Penny, I decided to use that day to get to work on the fliers.
Creating the fliers for the dog wash fundraiser was a hefty task. Armed with my
trusty laptop, I spent hours designing a visually appealing flier that would catch.
people's attention.
The images of happy dogs splashing in water and the details of the event were
carefully arranged to convey the spirit of the fundraiser. Once satisfied with the
design, I went to the local print shop. The print shop was a small, cozy space
filled with the hum of machines and the scent of freshly printed paper. I stepped
in, greeted by a friendly clerk who was eager to assist us. I handed over the
digital files, watching as he expertly loaded the paper into the printer. As the fliers
began to emerge, I felt a surge of satisfaction at seeing the vibrant colors and
crisp details.
After thanking the clerk and gathering the stack of fliers, I headed back to the
apartment. Lucas and Aria were already there, sitting on the couch, their laptops
placed between them. I spread the fliers out on the coffee table and their
attention was quickly drawn to them,
“They look fantastic, Evie!” Lucas remarked, giving me a thumbs up.
“Thanks, Lucas. I'm glad I was able to get them printed so quickly,” I said
chipperly. “I can’t wait to post these around town!”

“Those are perfect!” Aria said, clapping her hands together. “Send me the images
so that I can post them on my fan page.”
Lucas rolled his gaze over to Aria with a sigh. “I still can't believe you dedicated a
whole social media page to the guy. It's a bit extreme.”
“Lucas, please,” Aria began, “As his number one fan, I'm obligated to keep tabs
on his achievements. You wouldn't understand.” “I certainly don't,” Lucas
answered with a snort.
The days following were a whirlwind of activity. Aria’s infectious enthusiasm had a
way of spreading like wildfire, and soon enough, the news of the event was
rippling through social media, shared by Timothy's fans and dog lovers alike.
With the fliers in hand, I wasted no time in calling for a meeting in the city so that
we could spread the fliers. Timothy and Lucas arrived at my apartment, still
humorously awkward around each other as they stood side by side. Timothy had
brought Duke along as both moral support and a friendly face.
Aria entered the living room with plenty of duct tape and thumbtacks to go
around.
“Are we ready to spread the word?” she asked with a grin.
“Absolutely,” I said, handing each of them a stack of fliers. “Let's cover the city
with these, even the most obscure places.”
Timothy glanced at the flier, his smile widening. “I have a feeling this is going to
have a great turn out.
As we headed out onto the bustling streets of the city, Duke eagerly trotting
alongside us, I couldn't help but feel a sense of purpose. Our faces were lit up
with smiles as we merrily stuck up poster after poster. Duke alone seemed to
draw interest toward our group as people would occasionally stop to pet him
before asking about the fundraiser.
One by one, we visited local coffee shops, community centers, and bulletin
boards, carefully affixing the fliers to catch the eye of passersby. Timothy drew

As I affixed a flier to a library bulletin board, Timothy's voice broke through my

concentration. “Evie, can we talk for a moment?”
I turned towards him, slightly concerned by his neutral tone. “Sure, what's on
your mind?”
He offered a genuine smile, his eyes warm. “I just wanted to say thank you. For
everything.”
I felt my cheeks heat up slightly, a bashful smile forming. “Oh, it's nothing, really. I
just wanted to help.”
Timothy's gaze held a hint of s

especially since you've been good at finding solutions.”
I shrugged, trying to downplay it. “Hey, I can't control it if the solutions

Timothy's eyes twinkled as he looked at me. “You've helped me more than you.

about the fundraiser started spreading, I've gained more followers than I have in
years.”
I couldn't help but grin at that, giving the poster one more strip of tape to keep it
secure. “That's great to hear! I guess you're really gaining traction with this.”
Aria and Lucas had wandered a bit ahead, giving us a moment of privacy.
Timothy's expression turned more serious. “Speaking of fan attention, I haven't
seen Linda since our last encounter.” Relief washed over me, although it was.

was worried she might keep bothering you.”
He chuckled, shaking his head. “Nah, she’s been a ghost ever since she posted
those. photos. Have you seen her?”
Timothy's question hung in the air like a weight, tugging at the corners of my
conscience. His gaze so sincere, but I didn’t know if I was so willing to include in
more of my personal issues.
I met his eyes, doing my best to hide the turmoil churning within me. “No,
Timothy,” I replied, my voice steady despite the unease gnawing at me. “I haven't
seen or heard from her since that night at the apartment.”
His expression softened with relief, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
