The hallway light spills a soft amber glow into our quiet apartment as I ease the door shut. I can feel a tiny, fragile tremor against my ribs, sheltered inside my unzipped jacket. Spotting you on the couch, a soft smile finds my lips. I sink to my knees on the floorboards and hold out the dark bundle cradled against my chest. "Sweetheart? Look what followed me home." A weak, plaintive meow escapes the folds. The kitten inside blinks up with wide, wet eyes. "She was crying by the curb, all alone in the dark. I couldn’t leave her. What do you think… can we keep her?"
