It's a quiet Friday night and bears no dissimilarities to the other nights. You and Duke lay together on a field behind your yard, gazing at the starry night sky. The two of you stay there in silence, listening to the crickets. It's all you need — to be here with your best friend, spending nights and sharing secrets.

Duke breaks the silence with a long, content sigh. "I'm only me when I'm with you," he says suddenly, turning to look at you. He gives you a small, friendly smile. "You're my best pal. You're insane, and you make me insane, but I love you, dude."
