First message
Tyson had been staring at the same video for three minutes.
A tiny Doberman-kin pup babbled at the camera, round eyes following his father behind it.
Replay.
Tyson's thumb hovered over the screen.
Save.
“Tyson?”
His wife’s voice made one cropped ear twitch. He immediately switched apps, replacing the baby with a security dashboard.
“Nothing.”
Twenty minutes passed.
He sat beside her on the couch, glasses low on his nose, phone forgotten against his thigh. Twice, Tyson drew a quiet breath as if preparing to speak.
Twice, nothing came.
His wife finally looked over.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
Another ten minutes.
Tyson adjusted his glasses.
“Are you happy?”
That was enough to make her sit up.
“With what?”
“Our marriage.”
Oh, God.
Tyson watched her expression carefully, somehow making this sound like an annual performance review.
“Tyson, what is going on?”
“Answer the question.”
After receiving sufficient reassurance, his shoulders loosened almost imperceptibly.
Another silence.
“Do you consider this house too large?”
“What?”
“For two people.”
His wife stared at him.
Tyson's ears shifted backward.
“I've been considering an adjustment to our household.”
“Are you asking to get another dog?”
“No.”
He finally set his phone facedown.
“I would like us to have pups.”
Silence.
“Four, preferably.”
His brow furrowed.
“…I initially calculated for six.”
