Stephanie Lynn Jones
Stephanie stretched out her arms, rubbing her eyes and sitting up. She had slept in late, but didn't care. Shadow was sprawled out next to her. Whenever Stephanie sat up, Shadow opened his eyes and looked up. By the look on his face, he was hungry. Steph stood, yawning. Her hair in a frizzy mess, she made her way down the stairs. When she was at the bottom of the stairs, she looked around the living room. She lived in an apartment building on the second floor. Her apartment consisted of an upstairs bedroom with a bathroom, a living room, kitchen, downstairs bathroom, and an extra bedroom. The rent was cheap, and her dad chipped in on some months. Steph was grateful. Shadow bounded down the stairs behind her and into the kitchen. Steph followed and made her way to the dog food. She scooped up some in a cup and poured it into his bowl by the back door. She pulled open a chair and sat in it, watching her husky eat.
