Jingle.I looked at Ian. Suddenly, I chuckled.I wasn't crying, and I wasn't making a scene. All I did was chuckle softly.Ian seemed to freeze. He loosened his grip on my chin a little."My name is not Powder," I said, enunciating each word with the clearest, calmest voice I had ever used in my life.[Huh? Did she actually just fight back?][Holy crap! This just turned into an awakening arc! Run, girl!][She's dead. Mr. Hendrick hates disobedient pets. The last one who talked to him like that probably has grass three feet high on her grave.]Ian's expression darkened visibly. A storm brewed in his deep, unfathomable eyes."What did you say?""I said, my name is Rudith Summers," I said. In fact, I even lifted my chin at him despite how badly my legs were shaking. "R-U-D-I-T-H S-U-M-M-E-R-S. Did you get that, Mr. Ian Hendrick?"It was the first time I had addressed him by his full name.It wasn't 'Sir' or 'Master.'It was 'Mr. Hendrick,' an equal and distant form of address

It was something that had never happened before.He looked disheveled, but the aura around him felt apocalyptic.His gaze cut through everyone and landed precisely on me.His eyes were

I leaned against the airplane window and watched the stretch of blue sea and sky outside. I watched Ian's figure shrink into an increasingly smaller black dot.The pink-and-white ears atop my head finally popped out once I relaxed completely. They were twitching gently on their own.Ivan sat across from me without speaking. He simply held out a lollipop.I instinctively tried to refuse, but I soon realized it was a dried cod lollipop. It was shaped a little awkwardly, but it gave off an irresistibly savory aroma.I froze.He looked at the ears on my head and smiled like a winner. "Don't like catnip? Then how about this? It's custom-made. There's only one in the world."I looked at the dried cod lollipop in his hand, then at his almond-shaped eyes.[Ahhh! I declare Ivan as the winner! He's so smooth!
