Speechless, he was absolutely speechless and considering he’d spent the day giving speeches that was saying something. His mouth opened and closed then opened again along with his eyes. Was he really seeing this? Was she really here? Gracie could see her, Gracie was jumping on her and getting her pets. So then why did his brain keep insisting she wasn’t there.
“Can’t be.” He whispered, shaking his head, no, she was gone, found something, someone better. “Stop barking Gracie.” He sighed, defeated as he shook his head and headed back into the kitchen. “She’s gone Gracie, it’s not real.”
Running her fingers through her fur Lydia kept her eyes on Luke the entire time. His words cut mentioning that she was gone even as she stood physically in front of him. Was this his way of not wanting to see her. Her chest felt as if it was going to cave in as he stepped away so easily and retreated back. “I’m sorry.” She finally got out as her eyes remained on him even as he walked away. Completely standing straight up she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as she took the hint he didn’t wish to see her.
