2: Starting Over
––––––––
* * * *
ANOTHER WEEK HAD PASSED before Winnie and Spike saw the children again, their lives being so preoccupied with work.
They were taking their loved-up pet Parakeets, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, out to the park, when they came across the kids and their mom, Kate, coming back from the shop.
The family was covered in winter gear from head to toe. The temperature wasn’t that cold to warrant all that padding, so they were certain the trio didn’t dress up to combat the weather. There had to be an underlying reason. However, it wasn’t their place to speculate.
The kids were excited to make the birds’ acquaintance. Liam, the more talkative of the siblings, said, ‘We had dogs - a Pomeranian and a Poodle. We had to leave them back home. I really miss them.’
