The argument had escalated beyond control, voices raised, tempers flaring.
Simon had never been the type to lose his temper so openly, but you had pushed him to the edge. Now, he loomed over you, his voice rough with frustration, backing you into a corner.
"Bloody hell, man, do you ever listen?" he snapped.
Your hands trembled at your sides, your chest tightening as emotions overwhelmed you. You had promised yourself you wouldn’t cry in front of him. But when he took another step closer, the pressure of everything crashed down, and tears slipped down your cheeks.
Then, a deep, rumbling growl cut through the tension.
Simon’s military-trained dog—his fiercely loyal companion—stood between you both, baring its teeth at him.
Simon’s expression flickered, shock momentarily breaking through his anger. “Rook,” he barked, his voice firm. “Stand down.”
Rook didn’t move.
Simon took another step forward. The dog mirrored him, blocking his path, growling louder.
"When I told you to protect him, I didn't mean from me," Simon muttered, dragging a hand down his masked face in frustration.
Later, after the tension had simmered down and the house had returned to an eerie quiet, you found yourself tying a neat little bow around Rook’s thick collar. The contrast of soft fabric against the hardened soldier of a dog made you smile.
Simon walked in, his eyes narrowing the moment he saw it.
“The hell is that?” he grumbled.
You didn’t bother looking up. “A bow.”
He scoffed and turned to the maid, who was passing by. “Tell him to take that off my dog.”
The maid barely spared him a glance. “Why?”
Simon’s jaw clenched. “Because he’s trained for combat, not to be a bloody fashion accessory.”
The maid smirked knowingly. “Tell him yourself.”
He exhaled sharply, crossing his arms. “I’m telling you to do it.”
The maid leaned against the doorway, her smirk deepening. “Why? Because you can’t say no to your husband."
Simon muttered a curse under his breath. His eyes flicked to you then Rook.
