The next weekend I finally get to be outside alone. All evening. Paul is scouting out a new role for me...
"I-I see you are finally showing your face out here again..." I hear the familiar voice of Toby to my left, I turn and he's sitting far away from me.
"Mhm.... yup...." I nod, methodically petting my dogs.
"I've forgiven you. I left a note." Toby points to a paper next to the docks."
"I couldn't have looked. Paul has been watching me like a hawk." I turn back to the water, just zoning out.
"He's... rude." Toby taps his fingers on the log he sat on.
"Toby I'm jealous of you." I suddenly spurt out.
"How?" He stutters, slipping his hood back on.
"You are free. You aren't bound to repay anyone with anything. You could leave... go anywhere... and I'm trapped in a fancy cage, forced to preform tricks."
"But you get food for every meal." He tries making a joke.
"Mhm... a pear and a kid sized pack of apple sauce for lunch." I deadpan.
"I-oh... I'm sorry...." he goes silent, "tomorrow night... I'll show you my freedom."
