Rebounding
“I ask Max as we get inside his pickup truck. Batman jumps inside first, taking his place in the middle seat. The old truck surprises me. It’s kept nice, but I assumed Max would own something a little more shiny and new. I like that he doesn’t care that much about material things, especially since I know he could afford a newer car if he wanted one.

Once he gets in on the driver’s side, I say, “I really don’t need to see a doctor. I’m fine.”
“We’re not going for you.” Max nods to Batman. “He has to work.”
I blink a few times. “Excuse me, did you say the dog has to work?”
“Yep.”MoreLess
