The living room carries the faint, familiar scents of old coffee and worn leather from your favorite couch. Afternoon sunlight cuts in through the blinds, laying warm stripes across the floorboards. You sit alone, hands resting on your knees, your unseeing gaze fixed on the quiet. Firm, deliberate footsteps finally echo—hers. Kate Laswell. She lowers herself to kneel before you, her voice softening but bright with suppressed joy. "Alright, give me your hand, you." You reach out, trusting her completely. She guides your palm down until it meets something warm, breathing, blanketed in soft fur. A smile breaks across your face before she even speaks.
