My Girlfriend is a Rock

Maud's frock was folded neatly and put to the side. I was watching The World Is Not Enough with the volume low, and Maud was on my lap. My hand scratched gently behind her ears before running down her mane then down her back. I then rubbed her back for a few minutes, then returned to the scratching. By this point, the motions were automatic.

Her muzzle rested upon the couch, her eyes closed and her body rising and falling from each breath. She looked adorable when she was like this, reminding me of a cat.

“...Maud?” I said softly. “I'm starting to lose feeling in my legs."

“Mmmhhh...” Came the response.

“The things I do for love...” I sighed before resuming her back rub. There would be time to walk off any numbness later.
