A second, third and fourth try didn’t fair any better. As much as I didn’t want to bother my husband I was in no shape to be standing out there in...the hallway either. So I tapped on the door until he woke and let me in. I put my hand on his chest and pushed my way in, having been asleep the room was dark as a pit. I fumbled my way to the restroom to undress, not bothering to pick my things up nor even turn the light on. I made my way to the bed with no idea why he’d be on my side, another push.

The big dog moved right up to me and continued sniffing, his snout lowering to my crotch. Ben pulled the dog back.“By the way, this big fellow is Duke.” He looked down at Harley who was having trouble staying in his position with the large dog so near me. I had noticed before how much more protective he was when I was present. Ben.
