"I thought of the perfect name," Ben said between breaths, "for the dog."He reached down and grabbed the dog around the middle, lifting him to his face.
"What's that?"
"Skipper," Ben said.
"Skipper?"Leo and I said at the same time.
"Yeah, for Papa," Ben explained."He was always trying to teach me to skip rocks and I did it this morning.Right before Leo brought me Skipper."
He looked up at me; the puppy, still squirming in his arms, licked his face.
"I don't think I could imagine a more perfect name," I said.
"Cool," Ben said and put the puppy down."Come on, Skipper," he called and took off running again.
Leo lifted my hand to his lips and kissed it.Together we walked off the dock and into our future.
