Waiting and Wondering


As they waited for the vet visit, the Johnson household became filled with quiet speculation. Evenings were spent discussing Nyx’s quirks, his markings, and the reactions he got from others. “Do you think something might be wrong?” Alex asked one night. “Or maybe something amazing,” Ethan offered, half-joking, trying to ease the growing tension.

Every action Nyx made seemed to draw more attention now. The way he listened, how he sat, even how he blinked felt somehow… more intense than before. The closer they got to the appointment, the more they began to realize just how little they truly knew about their new companion.
