“Oh! N-now? That’s. Spontaneous.”
He paused, but then smiled, and nodded.
“Sure. Come on, it’s actually not too far…”
“Well we’re pretty spontaneous people it seems,” she said softly, smiling up at him, so glad he was there for her and offer her support. She could have just imagined herself without him there when she learned of the results, alone and crying over the loss of something she never had.
She shivered, hating the image. Why was she so weak?
He let go of her hand but only to wrap his arm around her shoulder, and he kissed the top of her head. “It’s a good thing to be.” he whispered.
It took them a few blocks but finally they approached a well kept shelter. They can hear barking of dogs at least a block away, and Jack holds the door open for her to walk through first. Inside is clean, like a vets office, which was another option the shelter offered. All the pets inside came vaccinated and de-sexed, so you knew you were getting a healthy animal.
