Missing, Loving, Trusting.

"Charlie!!" I shouted up the stairs. I looked up to see a fully grown golden labrador standing at the top of the stairs with it's tongue hanging out. He came running down the stairs as he leaped on me, "Charlie! Get down!" I said as i fell backwards. I fell onto my bum, "Ow." Charlie came over to me wagging his tail and licking me on the face, "Oh Charlie." i giggled as i stroked his head. I walked over to the couch and sat down, He jumped up with me. "Hey you," I said stroking him, "You're not supposed to be up here." He licked me. "Daddy's not here, it's just you and me today, i won't tell  if you won't." He barked as though he had agreed with me so i laughed. I picked up the remote and watched some telly. 

I went to bed that night with Charlie in place of where Niall would have usually slept. As we went to sleep i put my hand on Charlie's head and stroked him gently as he fell asleep, "This time tomorrow," I yawned. "I'll be a married woman..."
