Notes: Response to Challenge #13: Waiting
His friends tell him to give up. It's been too long. The one he's waiting for is either dead or long gone.
Luckily, Leon doesn't discourage easily. If he did, he'd have given up long ago. If he gave up easily, then there wouldn't be any reason for him to wait now.
He'd have left the petshop and its owner alone when every lead had been a dead end.
He'd never have stuck around long enough to fall in love.
Now that he had, he would never give up. Persistence is what he's best known for, after all.
D is gone, but Leon will never stop waiting.
