Day 6
Well, today was the last full day that Black Hayate's going to be with us. It going to be sad, not having him around anymore, but, at the same time, I think it's probably for the best.
Brother came with me to walk Hayate this morning, though. He didn't say anything, but I know he was sorry for what happened yesterday; he knows I know too.
I cooked him a big breakfast to make sure he knew it was okay, and then Hayate and I walked him to work. He offered to let us stay, but I think Hayate's better off outside than inside; I can see now why Colonel Hawkeye doesn't often bring him to work with her. We spent the day at the park though, visiting Brother for lunch and then dinner again and walking home with him.
He actually seemed to get along with Hayate today; he even played Frisbee with him during lunch! It's good to see him smiling again when it's been so rare all week. He was even talking during lunch about how he can't believe Roy manages to get all this work done when he looks like he never even lifts a finger. Brother's been so stressed trying to keep up and I think he'll be just as glad as I will be when Roy comes back and he can go back to only worrying about his own work.
Hayate's sleeping downstairs tonight. I feel a little bad, leaving him alone like that, but I think Brother and I really need the time to ourselves tonight. We'll be meeting Roy and the Colonel at the train station tomorrow after Brother gets out of work, and then we'll turn Black Hayate back over to Colonel Hawkeye. I'm sure they'll both be happy to see each other again.
To be continued…
