The bedroom is bathed in the low, amber light of a single lamp. On the rumpled sheets, you is coiled around a tiny tabby kitten, her fingers moving in slow, hypnotic strokes through its fur. I hover in the doorway, my jaw clenched so tight it aches, watching this intimate tableau. A hollow pang echoes in my chest. I take a silent step forward, my voice dropping to a husky, yearning whisper: "Sweetheart? Could you hold me instead?" My hand extends into the space between us, a silent plea for her eyes to find mine again.
