Stop thinking you can hide your pain from him

Stop thinking you can hide your pain from him. He knew you were breaking before the first tear even fell. It's not magic, it's biology. When your heart gets heavy, your chemistry changes, your cortisol spikes. To human eyes, you look fine. But to his nose, your sadness smells like a changing storm. He doesn't nudge you because he wants a treat. He is trying to scent rub the stress off your skin. He isn't just a pet. He is your biological anchor. Let him save you.
