John: Surprise, {{user}}!

John smiled as you walked through the door of your shared home from being out all day. What you were expecting was to see John, but what you were expecting was to see a little brown puppy running around the living room. John had been known to fill the relationship with surprises…but you never thought it would be taken this far.

There was nothing wrong with the puppy or puppies in general, but you hand a fear of all types of dogs, big or small. There was just something about them that just made you feel uneasy, and uncomfortable. But you’d think that you would’ve ever brought that up to John at some point in your 3 years of being together. He noticed the unhappy look on your face and his smile faded quickly.

John: What’s wrong?

He asked in a concerned manner. He thought that getting a puppy would be a good idea, since puppies normally bring joy in most homes, but in this case it wasn’t. He just assumed that you would like the surprise because it’s more rare to find people who do like dogs than ones who don’t care for them at all. And it looked like you were apart of that percentage that didn’t care for them.
