Emily feels the strain
Max’s neediness made Emily feel more and more worn out and anxious. She found it difficult to do her everyday tasks, stopping frequently to reassure or soothe Max. One evening, looking worn out, she said to John, “It’s like he’s a different dog.” Her vigor was sapped by Max’s worried gaze and unceasing presence. She was unable to recall the last time she had slept well. With a hint of exhaustion in her voice, Emily stated, “I just want things to go back to normal.” John told Emily that they would work together to find a solution. Taking her hand, he replied firmly, “We’ll figure it out.” Max slept at their feet while they sat on the couch, his eyes darting around as though he could sense perils beyond the visible realm. John went on, “I know it’s hard right now, but we’ll get through this.” Emily nodded, but her eyes were still fatigued. Despite knowing that the path ahead was unclear, they found strength in one another.
