THEKLA
“Here, girl,” I whistled, spreading my arms as my Pomeranian named cloudy ran towards me while wagging her fluffy tail.
Instead of jumping into my open arms, she leapt into the beach chair beside me and sniffed it before purring sadly. I knew what that meant and I shared in her sadness just as much because I missed having him all to myself during weekends.
“I know, sweets. I miss him too,” I gathered cloudy into my arms and hugged her closely while still staring at the empty chair.
Despite cloudy being mine, she was more attached to Matteo and only allowed him hold her when he was around. Each time I saw how excited he made her, I couldn’t help but imagine that he’d be just as much of a love magnet for our future children.
Ones that we might never see if we didn’t get rid of hi
