Valenzano POV: After texting Avaya, I took a deep breath and went to my office to organize the reburial of my pup. Now I have to let my parents and West know my plans. I know they are not going to be happy with my decision, but Cleo seems to be pleased. Waiting for my family to show up, I sat and thought about the pup that could have been. Throughout my conversation with Cleo Vintage was quiet. I wondered what he thought. And speak of the devil and he shall appear. “You know I never agreed with your decision regarding our pup. Even though it would have come from her, I would have loved it regardless”, Vintage said. “At the time, I thought it was the right thing to do. If I would have known it would have mentally destroyed her, I would have chosen differently”, I said remorsefully to him
