Few months had passed after Michelle had the accident. Since she did not overexert at work, while attending her regular physical therapy session, her recovery came smoothly.
One afternoon, after work, she came home to hear her husband's voice conversing with someone in the kitchen.
"Can't you give Scotch to us? We have been taking care of him for a few months now. The dogs had a huge impact in my wife's recovery." His voice sounded tired.
Michelle stopped on her tracks when she heard a woman's voice. She thought he was talking through the phone.
"Riles, you gave him to me when we broke up. Are you going back on your word?"
"Scotch is originally mine. You just begged to keep him. I did not dognap him from you. You left him with us, so I am now requesting you, if it could be possible to let Scotch stay here with us?"
"But he's my dog!"
"No. He's my dog! You just claimed him. Now, I'm taking him back since you cannot take care of him when you're away, anyway."
