My hands flew around as I described walks in the park, slobbery kisses, and evenings curled up on the couch. A warmth spread through me as I envisioned the joyful chaos a dog would bring.

“Think of the companionship, the unconditional love!” I gushed, unable to suppress a grin. The thought of furry snuggles made me tingle from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.

Maya sighed, and I fought the urge to leap across the table and shake her until she understood.
