OPHELIA

Cillian found me in front of the house, sitting with Kaiser.

“What the fuck?” he exclaimed as soon as he saw me and immediately stopped a few feet away from us. “Why is there a bear in front of you?”

“He’s not a bear.” I chuckled. “Meet Kaiser.”

“Did he escape from a zoo or something?”

“Don’t be an idiot, Kill.” I stood up and grabbed Kaiser’s leash. “Come and say hi.”

“He looks like he’s going to eat me, Birdy. I’m not so sure about this.”

“Well.” I shrugged. “It’s either that or you’re sleeping in front of the house.”

His eyes flickered from me to Kaiser who kept wagging his tail, wanting to play with him. I was starting to believe that dogs knew who we liked and who we didn’t like. He kept pulling me, wanting to go to Cillian.

“Are you sure he won’t eat me?” Cillian asked, slowly approaching us.

“I’m pretty sure I bite more than he does, Kill. So just come here and introduce yourself to him. He’s not going to do anything to you.”

Cillian looked up at the dark sky above us, then down at me, huffing and puffing, with his hands on his hips. But he understood that Kaiser wasn’t going anywhere, and it was better to be friendly than to be afraid.

“Fine,” he exhaled. “But if he eats me—”

I rolled my eyes. “He’s not going to eat you.”

“But if he does—”

“If he does, I will bury your remains behind the house and you can haunt me for the rest of my life.”

He took a step forward, then two, then three, until he finally stopped in front of Kaiser, slowly extending his hand to his snout, letting Kaiser sniff him.

But Kaiser was having none of it. Within a second, he pulled harder than I anticipated, making me extend the leash, and jumped on Cillian, knocking him down on the ground. His butt moved from side to side—not only his tail, but his body covering Cillian who was squirming on the ground while Kaiser licked his face.

Laughter erupted deep from within my belly, making me bend over while Cillian tried getting away.

“Get him off me! Ophelia!”

“I-I.” I was crying from laughter. “I can’t stop.”

“Ophelia Ekaterina Aster!” Cillian yelled out. “He’s going to eat me! I’m telling you. He’s checking if I’m tasty!”

“Oh, my God!” I laughed and sat down, letting go of Kaiser’s leash.

“You’re a monster, Ophelia,” Cillian mumbled. “A real monster.”

“He likes you,” I exclaimed, unable to take my eyes off them. “He really, really likes you.”

“And I would like him even more if he didn’t try to lick away my face.”

I felt almost sorry for Cillian but watching him like this with Kaiser was much needed after the day I'd had.

“Kaiser!” I bellowed. “Come here,” I commanded, and within a second, Kaiser got off Cillian and came to me, pushing his head toward my hand, asking to be petted.

“Jesus fucking Christ.” Cillian groaned as he stood up, wiping his face. “That dog is insane.”

“He’s just showing his love.” I chuckled.
