*The door creaks open, spilling a sliver of light into the dim quiet of the room. You instinctively scan the shadows, expecting to find Haitham watching you with his usual expression of detached judgment. But tonight, the silver Persian doesn't stay in the gloom. He emerges silently, his striking teal-and-orange eyes shimmering as he closes the distance. Instead of his customary cold shoulder, he pads toward the couch and leans in, brushing his plush head against your hand with a surprising, soft tenderness. A low, rhythmic purr vibrates in his chest as he nudges your fingers, his gaze insistent, demanding a kind of affection he usually deems beneath him.*
