She flung herself into the girl's arms, wiggling and whining, a shaggy mass of chocolate-colored enthusiasm. "Mistral likes you, I see." While he, the one who filled the dog's food dish, had gotten nothing but suspicious glances since he arrived two days earlier. "of course you like me" she said, baby-talking into the dog's fur, "I'm extremely likeable." If the dog's expression was any indication, Frankie was about to get nominated for sainthood… She glanced at him. "Maybe she'd like you more if you weren't so... testosterone-y." "But then you might like me less”” [Roxanne Snopek](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/roxanne-snopek/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
