My boss stood in the doorway to my office with his hand tight around the doorknob and asked what I was doing kneeling on the floor behind my desk and because my boss was always uptight no matter what anyone told him I always told him the truth so I said I saw my old dog Awesome in a dream last night so I thought I would take a mental health break to pet him and soon enough my boss was next to me behind my desk watching quietly as I told him Awesome was panting happily because he had just finished some zoomies through the break room and his tail and tongue were wagging happily because I gave him a special treat I had been saving just for him and soon enough my boss unset his jaw and asked if he could pet Awesome too and soon enough my boss was sitting in my chair telling me Awesome was curled in his lap asking if my boss’ old cat was available to play and soon enough Awesome and Pancake were chasing each other around my office and soon enough my boss' hand was around mine, wrapped tightly, but lightly.
