Happy to see me? Of course you are! Look at that wiggling tail! (@ask-richard-perkins)
Withoutadding anything, not reacting to the agent tease, Gavin just ran tohim, jumping to hug him tight.
Geez…he had missed this man so much. The detective ears were flattenedback and his tail was wagging.
Theagent Perkins, as an FBI agent, had had to leave Detroit for a while.
Thedetective Reed, as a professional man, had had to let him go. ButGavin’s heart had sped up, seeing the man moving away, in his car.
Eachtime the young man was seeing anyone he cared about gone… it was asif a part of him was drawing away too. A deep feeling of abandonment,it was ridiculous.
Thatwas one of the reasons Gavin managed to keep everyone out of hislife, as far as possible. It was a selfish choice, to live alone, butit was the only way to not feel this dreadful shiver along his spine.
But,that way to feel, made him sensing a huge relief each time someonewas returning to him.
Andthat’s why his tail was wiggling this way. That’s why he was sohappy to see Perkins came back, that’s why he hugged him so tight.
