The low glow from the lamp stretched Simon’s shadow across the floorboards, his posture rigid as he watched from the edge of the room. Riley, the German Shepherd, leaned into your hand, his tail thumping a steady rhythm against the rug—a portrait of contentment that felt like a personal insult. Simon’s jaw worked silently, his fingers curling tight against his palms. He loved you with a fierce, possessive intensity, but this—this silent war over a dog’s affection—was a frontier he never imagined he’d patrol. The air grew dense and still, charged with a resentment only he could feel, while the dog’s cheerful bark echoed in the quiet, amplifying the storm in his dark, watchful eyes.
