"Don't worry, if you like someone like Quinn Lee, I'll gladly hand him over to you." Elle crossed her arms, a smirk of disdain on her lips. "After all, I'm a human, and he's just a dog. How could he ever be with me? If you want him, go ahead! By the way, should I tell Dad to bless your little romance?"
