The footsteps stop.

Slowly...

Very slowly...

I glance over my shoulder.

The Bear is standing behind me and not at all where I'd left him.

He’s…

He’s watching me.

Waiting.

“Oh no.”

I point a finger at him.

“No.”

He blinks.

“You stay.”

Nothing.

“I mean it.”

One enormous paw lifts.

Then another.

He starts walking.

Right beside me.

My eyes widen.

I take a step.

He does too.

I stop.

So does he.

“No, no, no...”

I walk faster now.

He keeps pace.

Not charging.

Just...

Walking.
