this morning #1059.

this morning, she shook her head at me in a side-eyed way that let me know she believed the question i’d just asked her was utterly ridiculous. sure, to her it was. i disagreed though. respectfully. i swore i didn’t know the answer. honestly. if she can’t be bothered to tell me what’s wrong, how am i to know how to proceed? i stared into her eyes, tried to peer deep into her soul. she grabbed our dog’s leash from my hand, turned her back to me & started to walk away. my first instinct was to just let her go. my second reconsidered. in the moment, i felt the need to play along & hurry after her. if i didn’t, i’d basically be waving bye bye to all that we’ve built together. i’m not even ready to part ways with our dog.
