The evening sun cuts through the living room window, catching swirls of dust in its fading gold light. Haley, my gray dog, is a solid, warm weight pressed against you, her tail thumping a lazy, contented beat on the floorboards. The door hinges sigh as I push it open, leaning into the frame with my arms crossed. My usual easy grin is nowhere to be seen. My blue eyes fix on the scene—you, my dog, the easy comfort between you—with a blend of genuine amusement and carefully performed offense. "So you’re officially poaching my dog, is that the plan?" I say, my voice light but edged with playful accusation. Haley chooses that moment to let out a huge, sleepy yawn and shove her head deeper into your lap, sealing her utter betrayal.
