“I had a vision that the cat was going to fall off the roof,” she replied stubbornly. “It made sense at the time for me to go after it.”
She laughed a little, looking up at him. “Despite what you may think, I’m very loyal. I would have defended that cat with my life.”
“I don’t anymore,” she said with a shrug. “I just have Tanzy.” Her face fell slightly, and her brow furrowed. “I miss him.”
She looked up at him, giving him a small smile. “I trust you,” she replied simply, tilting her head. “We should get you a cat when this is all over.”
She squinted at him playfully, nudging him with her temple. “Your eyes look like cat eyes when you get nervous and you hate everyone you meet. Yes, you seem like a cat person.”
She flushed a little, looking up at him thoughtfully and leaning her head against his side. “As always, right?”
She gasped in mock offense, slipping her arm along the small of his back easily. “It’s not pretend if it’s true, you wiener.”
“Yes,” she replied in protest, looking up at him. “I freed you, didn’t I? My reasoning was correct then.”
She looked a little confused, raising one eyebrow. “That’s... isn’t that what we’re debating? If I have good reasoning?”
