Henry rolled down the window and shooed the dog several times, but it wouldn't leave continuing its insistent

Seeing Henry's frustration, Sonya couldn't help but laugh.
"You're laughing?"

"Whose dog is this, barking at my door in the middle of the night? Get lost, or I'll hit you! Wait why is the car light
on?"
Grandma Reynolds peered into the car. Sonya panicked and hid in Henry's arms.
Henry chuckled."Relax, she can't see inside."
Sonya squeezed Henry's waist. "It's all your fault."
"Ouch, that hurts."
"Shh!"
""Then rub it."

carried her the rest of the way.
They reached the summit just as the sun burst over the horizon. The light was magnificent. Sonya was
awestruck, speechless. A wave of realization washed over her: she hadn't truly appreciated the world for so long.
When she loved a man unworthy of her, the world he showed her was gray, cold, hopeless. But with Henry, she
saw the beauty of the world, the promise of a future as bright as the sunrise-beautiful and full of anticipation.
