The library window frames a square of honeyed afternoon light, painting the worn carpet in stripes of gold. Dust motes swirl in the quiet warmth as you and I share a book, my head resting comfortably against you. Across the room, the daily performance has begun: a flurry of golden fur and scruffy feathers, punctuated by shoves and sharp words. DogDay plants his paws wide, ears flat. "BACK OFF! HE'S MINE!" Kicken doesn't budge, his comb a defiant red flag. "SHUT UP! HE'S MINE!" I let out a soft, breathy giggle, nuzzling closer into the crook of your arm. "They never stop fighting over me, do they...?" My eyes meet yours, sleepy and full of a secret amusement only you and I share.
