"I know we've been avoiding this conversation forever but you need to know this. And I need to get done with this." She slid his health report across the table. His expressions were neutral when he opened the book like file and scanned it as he flipped the pages. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCVU0Z3Pja

She spoke again as she sat. "Multiple bruises on almost all parts of your body, swollen cheeks, Broken arm and ribs, shot on your lower left leg and lower abdomen, hit on the head and back and an attempt to choke your throat to death." He finally looked at her when she paused, until now his eyes were fixated on a certain word on the paper listening to her emotionless tone as she summarized the important information. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaZiHX0dut

"It Brings me to the conclusion that there were several men againt you. Still you deny to go to the hospital even if it meant death. Doesn't volunteer to report the incident to the cops nor do you disclose your name. Identity unknown and still a decent doctor provides shelter to the verified suspect?" She finally completed. He quirked his eyebrow at her. He was equally confused as her, why was she keeping him in the house knowing the risks? And if they both sort this out this would mean he will move out and no one wants that. Then why bring it up.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mLtdV722u

"You mean I turn a blind eye to this injustice or you pulled something to trigger your own death!?" She almost lost her cool. But his bleak eyes never left hers. She was only seeing one side of the picture. He had a lot to say but won't text her.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFH47WyEmM

'Lets pretend we never talked about it.' he slid away, eyes on the floor as he shut himself in his room, not planning to come out any soon and she remained on her seat, Defeated she pursed her lips.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWm4M3QVVz

He knew everything what happened in detail, and the written report is just thirty percent of that. Replayed it over a million times in head till now. The only thing she presumed wrong was that there was just one person against him. Only one. And he couldn't take one person mere person down. He don't want to hear her pitying words over this. Just not her! 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV1JfjLVGJ

Next day she kept the food plate outside his door before she left. Maybe he felt embarrassed for getting beaten up or else why would he lock himslef over something so trival, she thought. In a way she was right but she turned the wounded pup sad. Her wheels were turning, gotta make up.
•
It had been quiet in the hospital for sometime now. She wasn't use to pleasant atmosphere at work. But it wasn't her time to make a move yet. She had already given up trying for a promotion. It was no use. Better go with the flow.
And what all he had been doing is getting his mind, body and soul back on tracks while carrying out his business behind the curtains.
She knew he had been improving because nowadays he spends a lot more hours in the health centre. He was taking it seriously.
Weeks later when came the day with no appointment after ten in the morning which was next to miracle, she took off, spending hours in the pet shop.
They were going to have a real conversation beside the formality talk portraying they were still strangers which hurt them both but who would come up and confess that the uneasy silence had been bothering them since the gap between them started widening before they realized it.
Each day she left first, he would leave too, after a few hours. She would come late at night and by that time he'd be sleeping in his room.
She was familiar with this kind of routine and repeating the vicious cycle pained her heart. Previous memories flooded her mind. She clenched her teeth, fisted her locket and pressed her chest with it.
'That's when you get cheated!' her internal self mocked her. She had to take it positively. This was her lesson.
Get involved! The distance between them was widening. They weren't close to begin with but that didn't mean they had to behave like strangers until the day comes of his departure.
'He had stopped taking medicines from me, not even ask me. Never asked me to bathe him anymore, the couch remained empty every time my gaze landed on it. It wasn't lively in the kitchen without his presence. He was at home though, I'm thinking too much. Maybe I need to busy myself in another project!' she thought.
She reached home in the evening, knowing at this time of the day he must already be slacking off in his room.
She consciously took a long breath before knocking his door.
She supposed the distancing started at the detailed discussion of the rainy night incident. He is way to sensitive, she complained, Nope, made a point to herself.
She had already written him a letter of apology which turned out to be a failure since he never responded to that. 'Was I pushing herself on him too much? Was he feeling suffocated? Maybe I was bargaining in his privacy! Maybe he just wants some space! But hasn't it been weeks!?' Her mind was short circuiting.
But anyways she entered giving herself a self approval - 'I'm the house owner.'
He jumped two steps back because he was two steps away from the door when she banged open it herself, before him, with a foreign presence behind her. He was surprised more than disappointed. He raised his eyebrows with a hint of smile, eyeing her.
"Tell me. What should we name him? He's a wolfdog!" she moved aside and that's when he saw the wolf like dog with greyish fur whose size filled the threshold.
'As expected from you.' he kneeled on one knee getting closer to the pet looking affectionately into his mellow lagoon-blue sheen eyes, once the animal wasn't vary of him, he lightly stroke his neck. The dog liked it, he knew it because it leaned closer to him.
She read the text but couldn't understand if he meant it in a good way or bad? 'Maybe he doesn't like bulky and huge dogs?' nope, another text popped up.
'He's beautiful!' slowly a smile bloomed her face. "So..." She stretched the word, going back to the topic of suggestions for his name.
She started for kitchen and he joined her too followed by the dog.
He sat on the counter while she fetched some meat from the fridge429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpGi9TIgVn

'hulkberry?' He showed her the screen while she worked. "Nope it's too long"
'Nix' she washed the vegetables while followed her to the sink to show his phone. He was being lively and involved and she was happy with the progress.
"Too short." Her answered in negative. The dog was sat near the counter, away from the ruckus, scratching ear with his paw. She was laid back for he was being cooperative on the very first day. Unusual but fine.
'Ocydroma?'
"Sounds like ostracoderms." Her reply was yet negative but he still has more in stall. 'maybe the days he spent in loneliness modified his brain. He is eager to share the lot of names his head have in store. He is willing share all sorts of bullshit he's coming up with' she inwardly rejoiced for he was showing some improvement in the emotional and participating areana.
'Ivo?'
"Too short." She appeared unmoved but inside she wanted to laugh. He sat on his original place again thinking hard with a troubled expression on his not so worried face.
'Xalu.'
"Really? No." She shook her head. He was back to where he was yet again.
'Smoke?'
"Now were talking! Anything close to that?" She continued to move around in the kitchen. "Since he is grey. Something similar will fit him and will be easier to remember. Please get the plates for me."
Something pulled her fabric down and she swirled around in surprise. There was no one.
She heard the low growl and instantly looked down. It was the new member of the family! Who was almost forgotten..
"Hey! Bring the dog food and in his new plate. He's hungry too you know!" he did exactly what he was told. This time it was three of them having..together. She had brought a few stuff for the new one and there's still a list of things left to buy.
'How about frost?' she became quiet, he thought she was considering it for a moment. "Silver! How about silver?" She chirped. He gave her a thumbs up with a relieved smile. "How about we go shopping together for Silver later this weekend once my shift is over? And this way you can actually get out of the house and we can do something fun!"
'Yeah, sure. Sounds like a plan.' He originally didn't wanted to make a public appearance but this lady was concerned and was dead serious about this outing thing, he could practically see her brain wrapped around this in her face and liveliness surrounding her once again after so long he didn't wanted to disappoint her twice in a row. He smirked. She stuck her tongue out.
Mission accomplished.
"woof" came from silver once he was done filling his belly. "Yeah! You're coming too kido!" She assured the new member whom they keep forgetting.
