Septimus threw the ball across the field.
"Fetch!" He shouted at Maxie. It was a bright summer day and Septimus was enjoying it so far. Marcia had given him a day off and here he was making the most of it.
Maxie ran after the ball as he always did in his younger the days. And as before he brought the ball right back to Septimus.
Septimus bent down to get the ball. "Good boy," Septimus crooned as he scratched the dog behind this ears. Maxie craned his head toward Septimus as he enjoyed his massage.
"Hey Sep," a voice called from behind. Septimus turned around and found Jenna looking down at him with her hands folded behind her back. She wore a long silky red dress lined with gold embroiderment.
Septimus looked up at her with a glint in his eyes. "What brings you here, Jen?"
Jenna smiled at him then knelt down to also pet Maxie. "Just visiting an old friend." She said, looking at Septimus. She turned back to petting Maxie.
Septimus smiled at her. The sun was shining that day and Jenna looked beautiful. Septimus reached out with his hand and pulled back a strand of hair on Jenna's face. She turned to look at him.
"Which one?" Septimus asked, grinning at her and knowing the answer.
And without saying a word, Jenna leaned in and gave Septimus a kiss.
"You," was all she answered.
Poor Maxie was left perplexed.
