52-Thunder

The rain came down in sheets and the loud clap of thunder sent him scurrying under the sofa cushion. Daphne's heart went out to him.

The poor thing. He was such a sweet dog even if he did annoy her at times. She crossed the room and sat down on the arm of the sofa, stroking Eddie's soft fur.

Unexpectedly, lightening brightened the entire room bringing with it another jolting bolt of thunder. The noise terrified her and she curled up on the sofa, just as Eddie crawled into her lap, as though to let her know that he understood.
