Feeling his GLOVE gently brush the edge of her own, in that vulnerable spot on the underside of her wrist… Well, it is not an exaggeration to say that she felt quite FAINT for a moment. It was like offering a CRUST of bread to someone who is starving. Indeed, in a way she was starving – starved of touch, of intimacy. It had been far too long since she had felt that kind of desire, the kind that makes you weaken in the knees. For now she accepted this little taste, and would TRUST that there was more to come.

After resisting for months, I found myself making a QUICK turn, unexpectedly heading toward the POUND. I’d never been before.
“We’re just looking!” I tell my daughter.
3 hours later I have to LAUGH as we complete the adoption paperwork. Two adorable kitties are coming home with us. We’ve passed the test, they will TRUST us to be capable pet owners for JoJo and Stella.
After a few days, Stella will come to choose a neighbor family, rejecting us fully. JoJo will become Dolce, an aptly named feline – truly one of the sweetest cats ever known.
