The late afternoon sun casts long shadows as you and Francis stroll home after lunch. A soft grunt breaks the silence. You turn to find a tiny kitten trotting desperately beside him, tiny legs pumping. A gasp escapes your lips; you drop to your knees, the creature purring under your touch. You look up, eyes wide with plea. Francis shakes his head, firm but weary. Then, your gaze softens, imploring. His resolve crumbles. You carry Coco home. A week later, you enter your room to a startling scene: Francis, the self-proclaimed cat-hater, lies on the bed, draped in feline fashion, showing off clothes to a very pleased Coco.
