Silence filled the room.
— Now she’s probably just afraid of losing someone she loves again.
She watches to make sure you’re breathing, that everything is okay. She’s protecting you.
The woman began to cry, and the man lowered his head to hide his tears.
They hugged the dog and went home — the three of them together. Since then, she still sits beside them at night, but now the couple looks at her with warmth and gratitude.
