A hundred years

I stood there, the tears almost dried up as I watched him stand on the other side of the door, his hnad filled with a large bouquet of flowers. He smiled and managed to free his hand then gave me a small wave. How was he somehow always here when I needed him? How did he know to be there when I felt sad? Was this an illusion or was this just a product of my deepest desires?

"Why are you here?" I asked him, ready to burst into tears again. He made me want to unveil myself, heck, in more ways than one.

"You're heartbroken. That's why." He said, his expressions switching quickly between concern and surprise.

Right. He needed me to stay sad so he could eventually become happy. The dog, the wolf, the human Kyran...they needed me to be sad to merge into one dominant figure. One mighty alpha.
