“Just this. Please.”

Jill pushes a matte black, jewel adorned, leash and collar set towards the lady behind the cashier with a blank look on her face. The little patience she has thinning rapidly.

She’s supposed to just be buying a new lead for you; as your old one was worn from a year of wear. You deserved something new.

“Oh, these are big! You must have a husky, or something, right?”

Jill’s slit eyebrow twitches. Can she just scan the damn shit and let her go home?

“Yep.” she replies curtly, nodding politely once the items are payed for and bagged up. Finally giving her the relic of leaving the store and making her way home.

Revving up her Jeep, she dishes through her shoulder bag to find her phone. Sending you a text message before anything else because she knows how anxious you get when you’re apart.

Baby, I got the stuff. On the way home now.
