"-And keep your dog on a leash."
She said that to me with so much venom- how could say such a thing? To my face and in front of my best friend too.
She already knew what Steph was like; I had tol' her stories about em from when we were dumb kids messing around in folks fields an' in the woods.
He might be a bastard and a dog in all rights and senses of those words but he's MY bastard and MY dog to insult and intimidate.
She doesn't know how much I hate putting the man in timeout. To see his beautiful summer eyes look up at me and know he ain't getting off anytime soon.
She couldn't understand the bond we welded together - wrought iron and steel - couldn't understand how much I'd lay my life on the line for his mangy, good-for-nothing ass.
She couldn't understand how deep my love runs for him.
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
She was my baby sister; I've known her for all my life.
And he's my friend, my boy, my partner- and I've known him for so many eternities.
So now, after Steph leaves once those words leave her mouth- I leave with him. And I don't tell them goodbye, don't say when I'll be back. Because my 'Bye' won't be good, and I don't plan on see'n them again.
And tonight I'm gonna ride on into the sunset with him.
He may be the dog, but I'll be the bear for him. I'll protect him with my life and make sure he knows he's got someone to come back to when the doing gets done.
He probably won't know how I feel because he ain't like that but I don't care- he's got me and I've got him- we've got each other.
He's the dog and I'm the bear-
So I'm gonna chase him until the sun goes down forever.

i will ALWAYS clap my hands excitedly and lean forward in my seat when someone tells a character to "keep your dog on a leash" only for it to turn out they're referring to another person
