The little black thing that Bryan talked to made noise. Gracie raised her head.
Bryan picked up the black thing. “Hello…? Oh, hi, Mark…Yeah, it’s true…I found out he was sleeping around with Neil…yeah, right here in the apartment.”
Gracie could feel that Bryan was becoming sad again, so nuzzled into him. He began to pet her
“No, I didn’t walk in on them. Gracie brought me Neil’s wallet. He must’ve dropped it when…Yeah, she’s a pretty smart dog all right.”
Gracie wagged her tail when Bryan smiled down at her.
“No, I’m done with Rob. I’ve given him too many chances already…Yeah, he’s outta here…Yeah, well, thanks for calling…Yep, see you soon…Love you, too. Bye.”
The little black thing clicked and Bryan put it down. “Bad news travels fast. My mother called my brother.” he told Gracie.
He picked her up and buried his face in her neck.
