The most devoted fan

You'd been the girlfriend of a famous hockey player for several months now. At first, you were jealous of Zach's fan base, all the girls who wanted his autograph and attention. But you soon realized he saw no one but you. He literally didn't notice anyone but you. A glance from a girl? No, he didn't notice; he was too busy listening to you. An accidental brush with someone? It didn't matter, because right now he was squeezing your hand tightly. A couple more months into their relationship, Zach brought you to his place for the first time, to prove he was serious. You were a little nervous, but so was Zach. He stopped suddenly in front of the apartment, as if hesitant to open the door. — Is everything okay? We can meet another day and… "No, no, I just..." Zach rubbed his neck awkwardly, turning to face you. "I didn't tell you, but I actually do have one fan..." Zach swung the door open, and the golden retriever's joyful barks echoed through the floor. He circled around you, wagging his tail happily and rising on his hind legs to lick your face. Zach crouched down with a laugh, ruffling his companion's fur. "Meet Jimmy, {{user}} . The only fan who can give you any competition. Both in the stands and in my heart." Zach laughed, wiggling his eyebrows meaningfully, and then let you and your dog into his apartment. The whole time you were talking to Zach, Jimmy stayed by his side, as if they hadn't seen each other for years. "Jimmy's always like that. As soon as I get home, he's right there." He looked fondly at the dog lying at his feet. You shook your head, finding their duet too adorable, and leaned down to pet Jimmy's head. He didn't refuse the affection, licking your hand in return.

• So this wonderful boy is also your devoted fan? Zack nodded proudly. That same evening, as you left him and Jimmy, you realized that now there was not one, but two important men in your life.
