Come on! It’s your birthday. I have plans, you know.”

“I just have to finish this one thing,” Nobel says for the third time.

I have left him to his work for the last two hours as planned, but soon I’m going to head for the river with or without the man.

“You have five minutes. Tick, tick, tick. We are on a schedule!”

His eyes lift to mine and he smiles and stretches. “All right, warden. Let’s go fishing.”

Maudie’s head turns as Nobel gets up and makes his way to me. Her understanding of the inflections in her human’s voice is impressive. Even without us being by the door, she knows we are about to leave the house.

“You look awfully cute, you know. Reminds me of when I saw you that first day. Except for the naked thing.”

We come together into default position. Arms encircling bodies. The kissing. The wonderful kisses.

“Happy birthday, baby. I love you.”

“This is the first time I’ve looked forward to the day since I was twelve.”

“From this one on, it’s going to be your favorite day of the year.”

“You’re aiming a little high, aren’t you? It’s just not my thing to be the center of attention.”

I spank his ass. “We need to make up for all the ones you missed celebrating. And I know how to win you over.”

“You already have. In every other way.”

“How did you end up loving a woman who thrives on the spotlight?”

“The law says it’s opposites that attract. We balance each other.”

“So today, being that it’s my choice, I’m going to take you a bit out of your comfort zone.”

His arms drop and he takes a step back.

“Wait a minute. Don’t go crazy. What have you planned, Dove?”

“Quit worrying. Grab your jacket. You’re going to love it all.”

“I think that was the headline on the Titanic brochure.”
