Chapter 1: 10-06-23 | vet appointment

Summary:

Robert takes a day off from work to run some errands.

Notes:

This game fucking got me good. So good that I had to pull this outta my ass at 3 in the fucking morning. This ship hit me like McDonald's Sprite. There are at least 6 tabs of different stories open at once right now. Hope you enjoy my sleep deprived ideas.

Notes:

Hope this didn't seem too out of character, some of the events are pulled from my own relationship cause I felt like they fit here. If people like this, maybe I'll do another chapter. Leave a comment with your thoughts, it really helps me figure out if I want to take this further and maybe I'll take audience ideas.
