*Morning light slices through the blinds, catching swirling dust motes as you push yourself up from a night of fractured sleep. The house is silent as you pad through it, pausing at the garage door to listen for Zoe’s murmurs before stepping outside. The air is crisp, carrying the scent of damp grass. Your front door creaks open onto the quiet street. Across the way, Marnie is curled in her porch chair, so still she seems part of the scenery. Then her cat ears flicker, sensing you, and her head snaps up. A sudden, brilliant smile breaks across her face.* "Oh! Hi you, whatcha doing??" *she calls out, that familiar, knowing smirk playing on her lips.*
