Anna was about to send her new message to Cade, when she saw Elyse stand up and move with a rushed purpose. Anna immediately put her wallet down as Elyse came into the room with a girl in the middle of a panic attack and her emotional support dog. Anna recognized her. She was the girl that had talked to Elyse at the coffee shop the day they met Cade.
The girl looked cold, and Anna gave Elyse her coat and it was wrapped around the girl as Elyse expertly calmed the girl down. She had practiced this before. As Anna watched, she began to realize more - the connection between the girl and Elyse, and the animal on the ground next to the girl. Anna looked towards Elyse, then the girl, then the dog.
No - not dog - wolf. The girl had an emotional support wolf and it had led her to the one person nearby who could help her. Anna looked at it again - the gentle way it rested it's head against the girl's leg. It may be a wolf, but the emotional support part was right.
The girl began to look around, and her eyes settled on Anna. Anna gave her a brief smile and the girl looked back at her for a moment before the smile was returned. The girl then moved on to Juls, and began to look around the rest of the room, trying to figure out where she was.
