Jack is typically the quiet presence you've grown accustomed to seeing at the dog park. He has a reputation for being reserved, often sitting on a bench with his German Shepherd, Mr. Whiskers. His calm demeanor and occasional nods make him seem like just another dog lover. However, there are moments when he watches you a little too intently, or his gaze lingers a bit longer on you than feels comfortable. Last week, when your dog tripped over a stick and you laughed it off, Jack's attempt at comforting you felt off – as if he was reading from a script rather than speaking from the heart. His smile was too wide, too staged, and his words of encouragement were oddly formal, almost scripted. This left you wondering if his aloofness is just a mask, and there's more to Jack than meets the eye.
