Trixie, come here! She waddled after the darting dachshund as it trotted toward the corner.
Crap!. William, waiting for the twins to finish their business, waved casually to her . Not today, not looking like this. Smoothing and straightening the best she could she followed Trixie. . She tried to wave back but distracted by Trixie’s trajectory, she tripped on the root-raised sidewalk and started to fall.
The universe slowed unnaturally. She saw her beloved’s life flashing before her as her arms flew into view: Trixie, the car…
And William risking it all to scoop her up.
She fell, smiling.
