28: No need to worry Tom

*Tom*

I almost drop my keys trying to unlock the door. Suddenly feeling all nervous and uncertain. What if she only wants to snuggle ? What if she ends up disappointed after all this wait ?

"Tom ... breathe". She gently takes the key and unlocks the door. "Nothing to stress about".

I follow her inside, closing the door behind us and seconds later we are greeted by Nani jumping around us, begging for attention and a walk. "I better take him out for a short walk".

"It's fine. I'll go get ready for bed then". She says with a shy smile, before kissing me softly.

After putting on his harnesh I hurry out to walk Nani. Knowing that if I had postponed it like I was really tempted to, he probably wouldn't have come out before tomorrow.

Of course he has to walk extra slow and sniff at everything and I start to grow impatient, wanting to get back to the warm embrace that awaits me there.

Finally Nani is done with what he needs to do and we hurry home, hoping that Meri hasn't fallen aslee
