You woke up in gjon's bed alone.

You got out of bed and after brushing your teeth, you put on one of your - ok gjon's - favourite hoodies on and walked down the stairs.

You saw gohan wondering around with his plushy and he walked up to you and put his front paws up on your knees.

You went over to a kitchen cabinet and took a bone out for gohan and gave it to him.

He thanked you by licking your hand and happily carried it onto the couch to eat.

You carried on looking for gjon until you had no choice but to search the shed.

It was mid March by now, the flowers on the tall trees were blooming with millions of tiny pink flowers and birds were busy collecting twigs for their nests.

You put on a trench coat just incase you got chilly and put on some shoes and stepped outside.

It was surprisingly warm for mid March, there was a pleasent breeze in the air as you went past gjon's goats, as usual, doing goat things.

You knocked at the door of the shed and waited - gjon usually goes in here when he wants to be alone so you always make sure to knock - and he opens the door, a curious look on his face.

"oh hi Bernadette, come in." said gjon, stepping to the side a bit to allow you space.

"I gave gohan a dog bone, I hope it's OK." you said.

"oh yes, he deserves it, he has been a very good dog recently." said gjon.

"I agree." you said.

"what were my goats doing?" he asked.

"doing Goat Things." you said.

"good to know, those are crazy, I tell you, they used to wake me up all the time." he said.

"is that why you were always tired a couple of months ago?" you asked.

"yup." said gjon.

"what's the time?" you asked gjon.

gjon looked at the watch.

"half past one, we need to go shopping for stuff,should we go now?"

"yeah sure." you said.

...

You and gjon were in his car, sitting in a Confortable (ConforTABLE) silence.

Gjon sang the words to babi quietly.

"I can't see this fight again
It’s too much for my brain
This has got out of hand
It is time for the end


I can't sleep without thinking of it
We need to talk about it
Ti ma morri babin ne k'të mjegull
Babi jem, babi jem
Ti ma morri babin ne k'të mjegull
Babi jem, babin tim

After leaving me a scar
And after all those issues
Our love would be abused
I can’t sleep without thinking of it
We need to talk about it

Ti ma morri babin ne k'të mjegull
Babi jem, Babin tim
Ti ma morri babin ne k'të mjegull
Babi jem, babi jem
What else can I say to see you coming back
What else can I do to stop this attack
All I can do is say I love you dad
Ti ma morri Babin
Në ktë mjegull
Ti ma morri babin ne k'të mjegull
Babi jem, babin tim
Ti ma morri babin ne k'të mjegull
Babi jem, babi jem
I can't see this fight again."

"and the crowd goes wild." you said, wiping a tear from your eye and clapping.

"we're here." said gjon.
