“Did you hear the rumor that me and my new dog are both moving in with you?”

The End
Epilogue
One Year Later
Gravel crunches under my truck tires as I turn on to what Allie now calls ‘our road.’ Both dogs pop up to standing in the back seat, shifting their weight around in anticipation of being released to run free.
My girl snuggles into my side from her spot in the middle of the bench seat. “Tonight’s sunset is going to be so good,” she giggles. “Thank you for agreeing to an impromptu picnic.”
Pulling her tighter against me with the arm I have draped across her shoulders, I kiss her temple. “Of course. We were overdue for a night off.” The thing about falling in love and then starting a business with another person who never takes time off of work is that if I don’t take time off, neither will she. Mixing drinks back-to-back with my girlfriend—my partner—is a unique joy I would have never predicted, but it can’t replace actual rest.
An excited whine comes from the back seat.
“She knows it’s her ‘gotcha’ day,” Allie says swiveling her head to look back, “Don’t you, sweet girl? My pasta girl.”
