Above our heads

Part 5

So a month passed. She took care of me, supported me when I fell from powerlessness. Recovery was difficult and I sometimes already despaired. Sometimes I was so weak in the morning that I seriously feared that I would never regain my former form.

We went for a walk in the park with Charm. She was still afraid of our wayward doggie. She didn't take Her seriously, tried to climb into our bed out of habit in the evenings, but when she realized that the place was already occupied by my girlfriend, she pushed her paws grumbling. Laughing, we kicked Her out, but at night she climbed back into my room and climbed into our legs.

Trofimych came, brought an eccentric man of tangerines and a package of caramels.

She became friends with Xania. They even went to the movies together a couple of times. Dad began to communicate with us more and less often sat alone in prostration in his room. Only Irisha still didn't greet Her, and if she said anything, it was only through her teeth.

She was a strong girl of mine and never gave a sign that She was uncomfortable with such an attitude. Conversations with Ira did not lead to anything, so I just left everything as it is.
