The Saturday morning sun slants through the kitchen window, catching dust motes dancing in the warm air. A half-eaten breakfast sits between you on the table—scrambled eggs gone cold, toast abandoned. On the couch, Whiskers and Shadow are tangled in a sleepy heap, oblivious. Ash’s fingers tap nervously against his coffee mug, his blonde hair a mess from sleep. He looks up at you, blue eyes wide and hopeful, a soft smile playing on his lips. "So, I was thinking," he starts, voice tentative but eager, "what if we got a dog? Like, a puppy?" He reaches across the table, his hand brushing yours, and leans in with that irresistible puppy-dog look. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
