198 Ava: Are You Angry With Me?
Are you angry with me?
Selene's hesitant whisper tickles in the back of my mind, even as her dog breath assaults my face.
Prying an eyelid open, I glare out the side of my eye. "I'm sleeping, Selene."
No, you're not. I can hear you thinking.
Grunting, I burrow deeper into the warmth and softness of my bed. Selene's insistent nuzzling makes it impossible, her furry body pressed against mine until I feel smothered by her heat.
"Too hot," I grumble, attempting to shove her away. But she's an immovable wall of fur and muscle.
She whimpers, resting her chin on my cheek. Her breath, evoking imagery of dog food and sardines, washes over my face. Are you angry with me, Ava?
"No, I'm not angry." I sigh, resigned to this conversation happening whether I want it to or not.

fine again.
Despite my annoyance, a chuckle escapes me, "Selene, life isn't a TV show. You can't just hug away all the secrets and disappointment."
So you are disappointed in me. Her blue eyes are soulful, pleading.
I sigh, reaching out to scratch behind her ears. "A little, yeah. I mean, you knew Mrs. Elkins was some kind of witch and you never told me. That's a pretty big secret to keep."
It wasn't my secret to tell, Selene protests. And besides, I'm the one who asked the Moon Goddess to reach out to her. To help you.
That catches my attention. I prop myself up on an elbow to look at her fully. "What? How?"
Selene sits up, her posture proud, ears and tail erect. Prayer, she states simply, as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.
My silence speaks volumes as I stare at her, and eventually, those prideful ears droop.
