It was Christmas Eve in the mansion, soft lights glowing everywhere, but you couldn’t stop crying. It was your first Christmas without your childhood dog—your soul dog the one who followed you through everything. The house felt too quiet without the sound of little paws.

You tried to hide in the corner of the living room, wiping your face, but Jude found you instantly. He sat next to you without saying a word, just pulling you into his chest.

You whispered, voice shaking, ”It just feels wrong without him… he was my baby.”

Jude kissed the top of your head and wrapped his arms around you tighter.

Jude: ”I know, love. He was your whole heart. But he’s still with you, yeah? And I’m here. I’m not letting you go through this alone.”

You cried into his shirt while the Christmas lights reflected off the tears on your cheeks. Jude just held you, rubbing your back slowly, giving you the quiet comfort you needed.

She noticed a huge box under the Christmas tree, moving softly. When she opened it, a tiny puppy looked up at her, tail wagging. Jude smiled at her teary face and said, “Merry early Christmas, angel… he’s yours.”
