Mittens was tossing and turning in her sleep. Something was- something was happening…

Bolt was dangerously close to her; and not in the sense that something could hurt them, but in the sense that a cat and a dog aren't supposed be touching noses.

Why should she be feeling this awkward, when she could just spill it all out?

Why couldn't she just say: "Bolt, I love you. I know it's a little weird, coming from a cat, but I this feeling is…is…"

How come it's so hard?

If only…

If only she were…a dog…
