Summary
As Kyle drove, Stan casually rest his elbow on the space between them. With each bump, he let it slide closer until their arms were touching. The connection was nice. So nice, in fact, that Stan craved more nearly as immediately as he got some. So he leaned the rest of his body toward Kyle until his head could rest against the bony shoulder.
There, he could hear Kyle deeply inhale, even the air in his lungs tainted by sadness for the whole situation. No one knew Sparky as Stan did, but he supposed the good dog played a role in all their fleeting childhoods.

Summary
"God," Stan huffed a laugh, "this really doesn't feel real. Does that make sense?" He looked up at Kyle for reassurance. When he didn't agree or disagree, Stan continued, "I mean, I guess it just hasn't. Hit yet, you know? I feel like when I go home he's still gonna be waiting for me at the door or something." Stan shook his head as if dissolving the fantasy from his mind. Sparky wouldn't be waiting behind the wooden door when he got home. He wouldn't have a ball pressed in his teeth, wouldn't have the leash dragged off the wall. Not today, not ever again.
