    Summary

    I recalled that my first time meeting her was strange, as she did not attempt to pick me up nor stroke my fur when she arrived into my tiny room, unlike all the others. She did not yelp or fuss or complain when I hid from her under the couch, glaring out with mistrustful eyes. In fact, she scarcely looked at me, simply holding out a pale, upturned hand for me to sniff.

    My whiskers brushed her skin as I crept warily closer and she laughed softly at the tickle, finally turning her head to look at me. She was equally pale in the face, her hair black as my own, her amber eyes just a few shades darker than mine.

    She would do, I decided, bumping my cheek into her hand. Her smile was lovely.
