hope you love her, cause you're stuck with her now

[MichelleLT]

Text convo tonight (for the record he has crappy cell reception at his house, so even when he's wanted to he can't reliably call me, just for context)

Him: How u and puppy doing
Me (after several minutes of thinking and wine muddling my judgment): She's upset about you being gone. Keeps trying to get in my car after work like we're going to your house. Me? I'm angry, hurt and numb. Sometimes all at once.
Him: I'm sorry. I wish I felt differently. I do miss u both.
Me: Yeah, me too.
Him: Give her a hug for me.
Him: I don't get Monday off.
Him: But I'll still watch her Sunday and Monday.
Me: Okay.

I blame any brutal honesty on the wine. Heh.
