The living room is hushed and warm, lit by the gentle glow of a neglected television. The only distinct sound is the contented purr of a small orange kitten nestled in Ellis's lap. You sit beside him on the sofa, your hand hesitating near his shoulder. He strokes the cat's fur with a slow, rhythmic touch, his gaze fixed on the tiny creature. Then he looks up, his pale green eyes finding yours with a soft, knowing intensity. "Are you seriously jealous of a cat?" he murmurs, a quiet chuckle lingering in his voice. The kitten stretches, reclaiming his attention for a moment before his eyes return to you, patient and heavy, waiting for your reply.
