POST-TRAUMA STARTERS
❛ I KNOW I SHOULDN’T HAVE brought him home. ❜ dani accepts the blanket with one hand, the other arm still cradling the dark, sneezy little bundle that lets out a plaintive mew at being shifted around. she has the good graces to flash jamie that smile smoking of half-guilt & asking for forgiveness after permission.
the kitten lets out a pink-tongued peep in thanks. his eyes are a gleaming yellow-green, his bottlebrush tail flicking around in interest at his new surroundings. he’s hardly the FIRST stray ( a tattered old fern plucked up out of a rubbish bin flourishes now in the corner behind the tv stand ; a thicket of succulents wave out at the neighbors from the window sill in the kitchen. the proposal plant itself is thick & full-leaved, no longer sagging in its sad little pot with its roots gnarled around a claddagh ) that dani has scooped up off the street to march into their flat.
but it is the first time she’s carried something home with more spirit than a rosebud.
dani reaches a knuckle down to stroke between his ears to elicit a surprised thrum of a PURR. there’s a saucer of milk, a pried-open can of tuna, & now, a soft place to rest. ❛ but he’s just so cute. how could i resist? ❜
