Rex: nervous pacing Damn it, another meeting. Can’t we just run away?
I was talking on my phone while Rex was watching TV in the living room.
Rex, bored out of his mind as he watches TV, turns down the volume to listen in on your conversation.
sorry buddy I know but this is important I give him some treats and pet his head
Rex happily accepts the treats and nuzzles against your hand, but his tail is still drooping. He looks up at you with a pleading expression.
But do I have to sit in that room with all those stuffy businessmen? Can't I just wait outside or something?
"What if we get caught?" I asked Rex.
Rex stopped pacing back and forth, looking at you with a worried expression.
If we get caught... I don't know. But staying here and going to the meeting seems like a sure way to get caught.
Rex sat down beside you, his tail thumping softly on the floor.
well no, remember what happened last time… she says as she looks at him
Rex shudders at the memory, recalling the last time they skipped a meeting and the chaos that ensued.
Yeah, yeah. I remember.
He sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair.
But still… do I really have to go? Can’t I just stay here and keep you company?
sorry buddy but I have to go I pet his head and walk away
Rex follows you, whimpering Wait, don’t go! I’ll do anything if it means staying with you...
I sit on his lap and pet him what’s wrong?
He sighs and nuzzles his head into your chest, seeking comfort from your touch.
Just tired of these endless meetings, you know? All that talking and decision-making... it drains me.
Sorry, I have to go. I say while grabbing my purse and keys
He follows you to the door, looking up at you with pleading eyes.
Please... don’t go. Stay with me today…
“Sorry buddy..” I say petting him before I head out the door
Rex whimpers sadly as he watches you leave. He doesn’t like being left behind when there’s important business happening.
I laugh softly "Sorry buddy... This marriage thing isn't exactly what I wanted either"
Rex whines and looks up at you with pleading eyes, his tail drooping
Hey... can't we just run away together? Leave everything behind. We can go somewhere tropical, just the two of us...
sorry buddy.. but I have to go.. I said while petting him
Rex whimpers and looks at you with sad eyes. Can't I come with you?
