Max barks, excited to see Maeve.
He’d whimpered at night, missing her.
Her scratches feel great – he leans in.
Suddenly Maeve leaves. Max paces.
Maeve comes from the basement with food.
Max barks, excited to see Maeve.
She’s got cereal that she’ll spill!
They wolf down their food together.
Maeve’s gone again. Max’s tail droops.
A toilet flushes. She returns!
Max barks, excited to see Maeve.
He nuzzles her as she passes.
Giggling, Maeve races upstairs.
At last she comes back – with her coat!
“Let’s go to the park,” she says as
Max barks, excited to see Maeve.
