What happened next

Linda wore her church coat and never looked at her son. She told the judge about the morning Biscuit tore his knee, and how you carried all seventy pounds of him to the car. During the recess, Jake asked for the ring, and you thought about the pawn shop on Fifth Street and the jewelry place at the mall that makes copies in two days. You told him the truth instead. He sat on the hallway bench and laughed until a bailiff looked over. "Grandma liked dogs more than people." The case was dropped by noon. Now Jake picks Biscuit up every Sunday for a walk around the reservoir and brings him back muddy and happy. Biscuit has two people who finally stopped fighting over him.
