What happened next

Biscuit recognized you from across the lot and nearly knocked you over. Tara figured it out instantly. "You're the ex," she said, and looked almost relieved. Then Jake parked crooked across two spaces and just stood there, looking from Tara to you to the dog. He didn't yell. He didn't follow. You sat in your driveway for twenty minutes, shaking, waiting for police lights that never came. His text arrived at 11:52 p.m.: "I couldn't take him from her, and I couldn't keep him." A week later, a box appeared on your porch. The rope toy, the red bandana, and the adoption folder, signed over to you in blue ink. You sent Jake a photo of Biscuit in the bandana. He replied with a single heart.
