Abby gets home, tired and weary. She slings her bag on the chair, calling, “Rex!”
There’s a squawk and the prehistoric lizard swoops in, smacking the light before landing. Rex preens, sauntering closer for a proper hello.
Abby smiles. People underestimate lizards, but they’ve got intelligence and personality. And they don’t lie, don’t flirt and then go date someone else, don’t ask her out while in another relationship, don’t go off and die on a moment’s notice.
“You really are perfect company,” she muses, tracing his crest with her fingers. Because of all the rest, he’s hurt her the least.
