Fragmented Bonds

**Hi! I would love some feedback on this flash fiction please: I will be rewriting and submitting using your suggestions on 5/3**

“Lock, lock, lock.” I counted the locks on my front door out loud as I checked for the third time that night to see if they were, in fact, locked. My little white terrier, prancing beside me, finally made it to the warm bed. I was ready for sleep, to escape the reality of the day. As I closed my eyes and felt my body finally relax, I heard small “clinks” against the window pane in my room. I thought I was imagining it momentarily, so I closed my eyes tighter and breathed deeply. I heard another “clink”. Henry, my terrier, was also alert. I walked over to the window and peered out to see my now ex-boyfriend standing there. He gestured to me to open the door. My heart leaped as I thought he had figured out he made a mistake and was coming back for me. I ran to the door and unfastened the locks. He was standing there smiling ruefully. “Uhh, Henry is my dog.” He said simply as Henry ran out the door to greet him. I wanted to protest, but he was already walking away. All that was left to do was lock the doors, “lock, lock, lock,” I counted as I cried.
