“You and me.”
It’s a promise sealed with a kiss.

“Ow!”Picking up the kitten in my lap, I hold her in front of my face.“No, no claws, please.”
“Mrow?”She tilts her head and I chuckle a little.
“You’re too cute, but I have things down there I’d rather not have clawed, thank you very much.”
A soft chuckle has me looking up to see Arthur peeking into the cat room.“Want to take one home?We just got those in, and there’s already been a bit of interest in them.I’m hoping they’ll go fast.”
I look down at the kittens crawling over me.“I’d love to, but I think my boyfriend will murder me if I bring a kitten, or kittens, home without consulting him first.”
“Boyfriend?That’s new.”
I smile.“Yeah, very new, but it’s going good, and I’d like to not get dead.”
Arthur snorts.“Fair enough.Well, you know where we are, if you’re able to talk him into a kitten.I think it’ll round your menagerie out well.”
“I’m trying for chickens right now, so maybe I’ll barter with him; kitten first, then chickens.”
Arthurs laughs.“Jordan logic.”
“Yep!”Standing, I hand him the kitten.“I need to get going, but I’ll be back to visit soon.Hopefully, you’re not here when I do.”I pet the kitten on the head.“I have to go pick up Indie from doggie daycare, so I’ll see you later, Arthur.”
“Since when does Indie go to daycare?”he asks with amusement.
“Long story that involves my boyfriend.Anyway, I need to go before she drives Brooklyn up a wall.”
Arthur moves away from the door so I can pass, carefully making sure none of the cats currently roaming around the cat room try to escape as I make my way out.
It’s weird not having Indie by my side all day, but the separation is probably good for us both.Besides, she has Millie, so hopefully, she hasn’t been too much of a pain in the ass today.
I letmyself into Arlo’s house, undoing Millie’s leash as soon as the door shuts behind me.“Let’s go find your owner,” I tell her, hanging the leash on a hook beside the door while kicking off my shoes.
Arlo is in his office, and he looks over his monitor to smile at me when I enter the room.
“Hey, how was she today?”
“Good report for them both.Brooklyn said Indie can visit anytime.”
“That’s great.The pictures he sent of them both are hilarious.It looked like Indie made friends with everyone, with Millie as her trusty sidekick.”
I laugh.“Yeah, I got those pictures, too.”
“How’s Millie?Did she go crazy when she saw you?”
I shake my head and move further into the room.“Nah.I think having Indie there helped her to realize we weren’t leaving her again.She’ll be fine going over there once or twice a week, I think.”
Arlo lets out a breath.“Good.I was worried.”
“I know you were, but everything is okay.You don’t have to be.”
He snorts but scoots his chair backwards so I can stand between his legs.Leaning down, I press a kiss to his lips.“All done for the day?”I ask.
