In the evening at Pearl Gardens…
Katherine just finished taking a shower and was doing her nighttime routine when Bear decided to be all clingy. She gave him a pet and played with him for a while. Bear had been with them for three weeks now and she was glad that she at least had a companion at home while Damien was out on a business trip.
Over the weeks, she taught Bear a few commands and the gentle giant was so smart to learn it quickly. Bear could understand and execute the commands: sit, high-five, and handshake. Katherine did all that and gave him a treat before she climbed on the bed.
Just as she laid down, her phone rang and she instantly smiled upon seeing Damien's number on her screen.
"Hi... how was your day?" she asked as soon as she answered.
"Not bad. Yours?"
"Same. Are you back at the hotel? Have you eaten?" Katherine grabbed Damien's pillow from the side and hugged it in front of her.
