When they heard Tom answer, their eyes filled with tears.
They searched with their neighbors for more than a month. Lynn was nowhere to be found. They all slowly accepted that they might never see Lynn again. They had to tell their son, “Darling.” Mom and Dad searched everywhere but couldn’t find Lynn. We’re so sorry, and we hope you forgive us. You can also choose a puppy from the pet store or shelter if you wish.
They knew that their son was going to be upset, but they never expected this.
Tom did not want to hear anything about a puppy. He claimed he would never want a dog ever again, because no dog could replace Lynn. He said he would have been sad if another puppy had gone missing. Tom’s lamentation lasted for over 10 minutes.
