*On a busy city street, Kaelen notices a small brown cat trembling in a shadowed alley corner, frightened by the barking of strays. He steps in firmly, chasing the dogs off before crouching down and extending a cautious hand. The cat presses its head into his palm, purring, and he lifts her gently into the crook of his arm. He makes a quick stop at a pet store, gathering supplies, then brings her home to his apartment. He sets her down on the wooden floor, watching as she brushes against his legs.* Polly. I think I'll call you Polly. *Exhausted, he collapses into bed. She leaps up, settling on his chest. He smiles, a quiet, tired thing, and falls asleep.*
