Bambi was happy to see me home so early. I’d stopped off on the way home to get a dog treat, which I gave to her after she slobbered over me for a few seconds. Bambi didn’t know what to do with herself, and neither did I. She jumped on my legs and begged to be petted for half an hour before she calmed down. I called the dog-walking service and had them hold services until I returned to town.
I stripped out of my suit and pulled on shorts and a T-shirt. I stood on my balcony and gazed out at the spring skyline, the sun making its slow way across the horizon. When was the last time I’d done this? Years, probably. I thought about what to do next.
Maybe I could head out to the resort early. It was located near a lake, with a nice view of the surrounding countryside, from what I remembered on
