What happened next

Greg was sitting on a bench, picking at his coffee cup. Ellie had decided on the drive over, and she told you in the parking lot: "I lost Daddy. Max's dad lost Max. That's not fair." She did it with her chin up. Max sniffed Greg's hand for a long minute, then his tail started going, and you realized he'd only needed time to remember. Greg had to wipe his eyes. "She's a really good kid," he kept saying. Two weeks later, a curly puppy named Pickle came home with you. Ellie picked her from five, because "she looked like she needed a friend." Max visits on Sundays. Ellie keeps the poster in her memory box, next to the drawing from the fridge.
