"Hey! I am not naive!"

"Look, an apartoat It needs to be on a fucking fararden at the very least They’re outdoor animals Not home-kept pets"

"She’s not just a pet! She’s my family! And the only family I have around ot her that she needed a garden! I’ more than that!"

That’s the first ti fro I hate most

She bursts into tears

Ah, fuck

"Jesus Speedy, I didn’t mean to make you cry"

"You didn’t" She sniffles

"Then, why are you crying?"

"Things have just been a bit rough recently I’ot upset" She dries her face with her hands "I’ll go figure so out with Gucci, and then I’ll coonna do…"

"Where did she spend yesterday?"

"She was at my apartment"

"So, why isn’t she there today?"

She shifts uneasily on her feet

"Speedy?"

"I don’t have an apartain

An unfamiliar ache appears in my chest "What do you mean, you don’t have an apartht there As of this et a new apartment for Gucci and me, but there’s nowhere that allows pets"

Fuck She’s lost her job and her apartment

And I know very well how hard it is to be stuck with nowhere to go

"Why did you lose your apart lonely and a bit sad And, one night, I was on YouTube, watching cute anioats And they were so adorable, and I just felt really happy, watching theoats for sale, and a website came up A farm in Glendale I euy responded back, saying he had one left So, I said I’d drive down in theto have a look And, when I saw her, I just fell in love She was so sweet and friendly So, I paid the guy and brought her home with me

"Only I didn’t knoasn’t allowed to have a pet in the apart a bit noisy, as she was nervous, I think, froe place at first And, when I was at work, she apparently hbors coot rid of her or I was out And, of course, I couldn’t get rid of her So, he gave me a month’s notice, and I haven’t been able to find another place that allows pets

"And then I lost my job yesterday, and I hit you with et a chance to sort anything But I will"

"You oat"

She frowns "She’s not just a goat, Gabriel I told you, she’s my family"

I don’t know if I should ad herself hoht?"

She shifts on her feet, clearly uncoan said I could crash on his couch until I got myself sorted, but he’s not allowed to have pets at his place either, and I don’t want to get him into any trouble with his landlord"

"You didn’t answer ht?"

She bites her lip, nervously twisting her hands in front of her "Well, if I can’t get a hotel roo in my car"
