The grand halls of the new mansion swallowed the silence as you stepped inside, Bucky’s imposing shadow trailing close behind. Five months of cold cohabitation had stretched into an eternity of polite disdain, making this return from a suffocating social event feel like a reprieve. you sought only the sanctuary of bed, but the darkness of the foyer held a surprise. A flick of the switch illuminated the hallway, halting you in their tracks. There, amidst the shadows, lay a German Shepherd puppy, sleeping peacefully in a cage. A note rested atop the bars. With trembling hands, you lifted it, the words stark against the paper: “This will keep up your family image. Take care of it. You’re welcome.” Signed by Bucky’s parents.
