distance (part five)

"Will you be my wolf?"

"I will run with you 'til the end of your days!"

That was not even the strangest part, believe me. When I remember dreams, it's usually because they're so vivid and...weird.
They don't really make a lot of sense--when would I ever be in a place like this?
         With this person? Doing this thing?
         And all of a sudden I'm in another place?

But instead, this morning, I accepted the prettiest, weirdest-looking ring I'd ever seen before in some empty grocery store (I think),
and I don't want to go into details about before and after that, but here was the strangest part:

I woke up feeling the happiest I'd felt in a very, very long time.
