"He slapped me across the face twice, but my real pain is in my heart," Gidget replied. Crying, she buried her face into Max's shoulder, soaking his fur with her tears.

Pops and Chloe, however, continued munching on their meals.

"Guys, relax. It's my problem, not yours," Gidget whispered softly. Max felt terrible for his girlfriend as he pulled her into a warm embrace. "Don't worry Gidget, we won't let him destroy us," he calmly reassured her, licking her cheek.
