Kat hummed as her feet pounded the pavement, Briley keeping up pace beside her. They were on their last mile, and she could tell Briley was starting to feel it. “You doing okay, Bri?” She ignored the glare Briley shot at her and grinned.
“I…yes.” She huffed. “I’m good. I don’t normally run this many miles.”
“It’s good for you. We’re almost there.” Ten minutes later, Kat stood over a sprawled-out Briley, who had flopped onto the ground with a growl the moment they reached Kat’s yard. She pushed her foot up against Briley’s side. “Don’t growl at me.”
“That sucked.”
“Don’t be such a baby. Keeping in shape is good for you.”
“I know.” Briley held her hand out and Kat grasped it and hauled her to her feet. “Next time I’ll do better.”
Kat patted her back. “That’s the spirit.”
