I would like the record to reflect that I gave a command performance last night. With no ability to speak and no opposable
thumbs, I came so close to getting the two of them in the same bed. That seems like a logical progression if Piper is going
to stay. I was fully prepared to sleep out in the hall with my legs over my ears. But no.
Piper’s only here for two more races, and I don’t know if Grandma’s house in Spain is a good place for Piper and Emilio to
get closer.
Mmm. Grandma’s house. I can’t wait. I have only been there one other time, but I loved it. The smells. The tile in the kitchen
that’s cool on my belly. Jamón that falls on the floor like magic. I could go on and on. About jamón.
I deserve to be that happy. Jamón happy. I can’t see myself being happy if Piper doesn’t stay. So I can’t give up. I think
I have to try harder.
