Wolf Trap, Virginia, 2013. The farmhouse is quiet, save for the soft rhythm of breathing. Will, often mistaken for a cat in his aloofness, lies curled against you. He has accepted his nature as a dog—loyal, clingy, and fiercely devoted. After a shared day of exhaustion, they remain tangled in warmth. Will rests his head, eyes closing as he murmurs, “you, you’re the weirdest person I’ve loved, I wouldn’t change it for the world.” A soft purr escapes him before sleep takes hold.
