"I wanted it to be a Christmas surprise, but it couldn't wait," he said quietly.

I looked up expectantly, letting my spoon clatter back to my bowl. We were eating oatmeal, fresh fruit salad, and egg white omelets, and he was looking at me with such love in his face as he reached across the table, his face alight with the surprise he couldn't wait to share with me.

"There's a dog," I guessed immediately.

For a second, he looked dismayed.

"How did you…?"

"You gotta clear the browser history better, babe," I told him, giving him a little wink. "I'm just glad you weren't looking for kinky porn. I like being your go-to guy for sex."

He looked a little flustered. "Well, you are. Ahem." He wiped his mouth.

Sheesh, the things we did together, and he still got shy about it? The man could make me feel more amazing than anything else in the world, but he seemed shy about it sometimes. What did he have to be shy about? He was a fuckin' amazing lover.

We'd gone to his doctor together for his last few appointments. The doctor was pleased. He said Joe was doing well, not pushing himself too hard, and eating much better.

He said if Joe continued to be careful, he could have years yet.

We celebrated with a salad and a healthy shake, not a French fry in sight—even though that's what we were both hungry for after the long trip to his specialist.

Now he cleared his throat. "Ahem. Do you want to hear about the dog or not?" he said.

"A Weimeraner, right? From that breeder you were looking up?"

He looked utterly dismayed for a moment, mouth falling open. "Um…yes. One of the dogs that's no longer going to be a breeder. She's a bit older, but very gentle and…"

"Suzie!" I exclaimed. "I saw her on the site. Oh, wow, you got me Suzie!" I jumped up and went around the table and hugged him.

He laughed, chuffing softly against my shoulder. "You do know how to spoil a surprise…more deliciously."

We kissed each other. After that, we did some other stuff.

Then I drove down to wait for Suzie to arrive at the airport. I was pretty good at running errands myself these days. Joe did some light exercise—mostly walks we took together, when the weather was decent enough—but I'd taken over most of the running around.

But I wished he was here to see our new dog arrive.

Well, he saw her when I brought her home.
