Step one: Pick two characters (any two will do)
Step two: Pick one of the following emotions:
Step three: Character one feels this emotion towards character two. At the moment in question, character one is sitting in a room with a pet of character two. Get that picture in your mind, with a specific pet, a room that you can see, and some reason for character one to be waiting there...
Step four: Now, describe that waiting with the pet, bringing out the emotion that character one feels toward their owner - without ever mentioning it by name. I.e., let them talk, rub, whistle at, or whatever the pet - and in that interaction, show what they feel towards the owner.
On your keyboards, get set, write!
