The air crackled with a sort of electric anticipation. Ben barely waited to drop his keys on the counter before he charged towards the living room. His plan was foolproof. A miniature dachshund, a little sausage dog to bring joy into their lives. He couldn't contain his excitement.

"Chloe!" he yelled.

Chloe emerged from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dishtowel. She looked puzzled.

"I want a dog!" Ben announced, his chest puffed out. He pictured the little dog, always wagging its tail and wanting to play.

"No, Ben," she said, shaking her head. "We talked about this. A dog is a big responsibility."

He couldn't stand still. He paced back and forth, his energy barely contained. "But imagine! Morning walks! Frisbee in the park! We can teach him tricks!"

Chloe sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Look, I have a big exam in two weeks. I can't be distracted."
