Family by Any Name
Leery, I went in and, shocked, I froze.
My roommate barred the door to the den with her arms.
“Jamie, c’mon… Why not?” I was frustrated. I mean, I’d been dumped! it was fair to be grumpy. “I just want to go crash on the couch and eat this pizza.”
“Yeah…well… look, I know it’s been a tough day, just wait another second, okay?”
“It’s good!” My other roomie, Dan, called out.
Jamie grinned. “Rad, awesome. Go on.”
Leery, I went in. Froze.
Dan held a leash attached to the cutest golden, fluffy dog.
“But…” I said, “You’re allergic!”
Jamie grinned. “You’re fam. I’ll work it out.”
