Day #13: Together Again by Amber Averay
She didn’t know how long he’d been gone – she had little understanding of time, to be honest. It was something measured either as short or long – and he’d been gone so long. It had got to the point she thought he’d abandoned her; not even the times when his odd-sounding voice came through the phone or his tiny face appeared on the screen made her feel better.
But something was happening. There was a strange sensation in the air, an excitement that caused her to be unsettled. She didn’t know how to feel.
The familiar sound of a car pulled up in the driveway. The front door opened, and she heard his voice. His voice!
Karri bolted out the front door, foolish grin on her face, and raced toward him, her tail wagging so fast it was almost a blur. She leapt upon him, her paws on his chest, her tongue raking over his face, while he laughed and held her, patting, hugging, and they tumbled to the grass together.
It had been a long time for him, too.
