Till Death Do Us Part
Outside the window, on the fire escape, Tom - the friendly black neighborhood cat – sat waiting, meowing a sharp good morning, demanding breakfast.
I laughed, digging out a can of tuna. The second I peeled it open, his paws scrabbled at the sill, eyes wild with anticipation.
“Easy, Tom, I’ve got you,” I grinned, sliding the plate outside.
Three seconds later, it was gone. As always, he tried to squeeze past me into the apartment. But I blocked him with one hand, while snatching the empty plate with the other.
“Sorry, honey,” I murmured, stroking his soft fur. “But you know the rules: no pets.”
