🐈⬛ — You can't be reasoned with, I'm done being polite. The afternoon light filters through the blinds, casting stripes across the duvet where Coraline sprawls beside you. Her fingers trace the sleek fur of a Siberian cat, a soft giggle escaping her lips as she catches you's gaze. The air is thick with unspoken tension; every lean forward from you makes her flinch, expecting a kiss that never comes—only the cat receives affection. “What's his name, anyway? You've never told me,” she whispers, her head propped on one hand, eyes dark and watchful.
