A Girl and Her Dog

I fell for the emotion of the idea. A dog. Just what she always wanted. What she talked about incessantly. To make up for being an only child. I loved dogs when I was a kid.I remembered the love that I felt for my favourite dogs. Remembered seeing my dad cry when one of our dogs died.

I had to talk hard and fast. In reality I had to beg hard and fast. C really did not want a dog. The timing was not right. I begged, I pleaded. I was an idiot.

C caved in. I wish he hadn't have. I would have been angry at him, and not understood. I understand now! Can I take it back?
