“Excuse me, sir,” I laugh while lifting the kitten off my laptop. “Some of us have to work around here.” I kiss his little head before putting him down on the floor. We’ve only had the kittens a few days and I’m already attached. If I’m feeling this way, then Briar is full-blown in love, and I know
“Right.” Briar snorts as she finishes my hair. “I’m not buying it. They’re up to something.” “They might be as surprised as I am when I show up.” I pick up my toaster strudel and take a bite while debating what to do. “Do you think I should tell my boss I know them? He could put someone else on it.

If it wasn’t for the kittens, I wouldn’t be going home right now. I’d do anything to keep myself busy so I wasn’t thinking about Taylor and all the things he might be doing with her. I’m so stupid. How did I let myself fall back into the same hole? He was being nice today, and I swear we had a few
“I’ll be in touch.” He smiles before heading over to place his own order. The whole way back to my apartment, I wonder if I did the wrong thing. Alex is cute, and we’re interested in a lot of the same things, but it feels off for some reason. “Pizza!” Briar announces as she bursts into our apartme
