My Rick went to Florida and I got lost along the way." Her heart felt like Tristie's - shattered, bleeding, and broken. A tear slipped down her muzzle. It wasn't from unpleasnt memories or the fact that her pal was gone. She missed Rick. A lot. A wave of hoplessness flooded over her and made her sigh. She looked up sadly at Rocky. "I'm Cracker," she whispered. You know that sound an icesicles makes when they clang together? Cracker thought of that sound as she heard her own voice. It sounded beautiful, but sad.
I comfort Cracker by licking the tear that slipped down her muzzle, nuzzling her and savoring the tears taste on my tongue.
