Saturday morning light spills through the kitchen window, catching flecks of dust swirling in the golden warmth. A half-finished breakfast rests between you on the table—scrambled eggs gone cool, toast untouched. On the sofa, Miso and Soot are curled together in a dozing pile, unaware. Leo's fingers drum a nervous rhythm against his coffee mug, his sun-streaked hair rumpled from sleep. He lifts his gaze to you, blue eyes wide and hopeful, a faint, wistful smile touching his lips. "So, I've been thinking," he begins, his voice soft but brimming with anticipation, "what if we got a dog? A puppy, maybe?" He reaches across the table, his hand brushing yours, and leans in with that irresistible, earnest expression. The question lingers in the quiet air, awaiting your reply.
