when all those shadows almost killed your light...

I don’t mind at all. The more, the merrier.

“Are you sure? I-I really don’t wanna intrude on anything.”

I was thinking about having a Harry Potter movie marathon.

“Now that sounds like even more fun! I’d love to watch them with you, if you don’t mind.”

“I’m sorry… were you saying something?” A small sigh escaped her as she shot the other an apologetic look. “I’ve just kind of been a bit out of it, lately.”

“I was just asking if you dropped this.” Penny held up a bag she found on the ground near the older girl.

Would anyone care to watch a movie with me?

“That sounds really fun. What movie were you thinking about watching?”

“He, he, he. Does it really matter? He’s a cat?” Katherine asked, pretending to be grumpy, though she was obviously joking. “I know, it’s your personal business to make sure I’m happy.”

“A cat that always deserves to be told how cute he is!” Penny crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, grinning. “I’m your sister, it’s my job.”

“Oh my god, are you serious?” He asked, stunned. “Um, I guess we should trek the woods first before it gets too dark.”

“Yeah. But he’s okay. I didn’t give him a bath that week as an apology for what happened.” Penny chuckled. “Sure. We can start at the part by my house.”

“Yeah, if you say so. I’m not sure I think it’s all that great.” She half smiled, “I’m a hundred percent positive that I’m fine.”

“He’s a handsome cat, which is a blessing and a curse!” Penny said dramatically, even putting the back of her hand on her head before bursting into giggles. “Good, I was just making sure.”

“Simon. Yourself?” 

“Penelope but everyone just calls me Penny. It’s nice to meet you. Do you always just sit on benches by yourself?”
