The soft chime of the café bell announced our arrival, ushering us into a space warm with the aroma of coffee and the gentle hum of feline contentment. Pastel walls surrounded us as you drifted immediately toward a regal white Persian, your voice softening to a coo. I hung back, trying to anchor myself in my usual detached calm. But then a small, striped kitten trotted over and began insistently rubbing its cheek against my ankle. My resolve, once solid, began to splinter. Almost without thinking, I lowered myself into a crouch and offered my hand. The kitten pushed its head into my palm, its purr a loud, vibrating rumble. A rare, soft smile touched my lips as I scratched the velvety spot behind its ears, feeling the weight of your quiet, knowing observation on my back.
