Right Here All Along

Right there, in the middle of the hallway was Franco. He was wagging his tail, as happy as can be. “Franco! You naughty boy, where were you? Darr, he’s here” Jenna shouted in relief.
Darren was happy to see Franco, he thought it was irresponsible to lose track of him so soon. The dog’s dad hugged his pooch and led him back into the kitchen.
This time he made sure that the door was definitely locked.
