Me and Tyler went up to the guest bedroom while James grabbed a movie for us.
I changed into one of gramma's T-shirts. Which was way to big.
James came up with the movie A Dogs Purpose.
I'll admit it, I cried.
So did Tyler.
And James.
At the end of the movie Pickle came up and laid with me.
I woke up to the smell of bacon and blueberry-chocolate pancakes.
I didn't get up though.
Because Tyler and James were still sleeping.
And the sleeping bag gramma loaned me crackles every time I move.
So stayed as still as possible.
James sat up and looked at me.
I smiled.
He pointed to the door.
I guess that means he wants to get up with me.
I carefully got out of the sleeping bag and followed him out the door.
I had to use the restroom so I said I'd meet him downstairs.
I washed my hands and walked downstairs.
James was wringing his hands together.
Grampa walked in the front door.
James asked if he could talk to him outside. Alone.
I caught a glimpse of his face. He looked like he had seen a ghost.
I sat on the couch drinking apple juice.
James walked back inside looking a bit better.
Grampa asked Gramma to come out with him and James.
So this left me, Pickle, Queena, and Mrs. Meow.
James came back inside again!
And he asked me to come outside with him.
Not Grampa. Not Gramma. Me.
Is something wrong? What did I do? Is Tyler ok? What happened? These were the questions that went through my head.
He sat down on the lawn chair.
I did the same.
He looked at me.
And asked the question that would change our lives.
