💜 "When my eye caught the shimmer of Pirri’s scales, my heart gave that little flutter, a firefly blinking out a love note in the hollow of my chest." 💜

So many beautiful lines! I love this couple with all my heart, which you have shattered into tiny pieces and fed to the gators.

There was a point I think about halfway in where I suddenly thought 'ah - they're cats aren't they?'. But no, I'm guessing they are in fact human.

It's still a great little story though. I really liked it.

I love the idea of them being cats. Maybe something for another tale. 😸

Loved this story! This line really stuck with me, "I think I loved him from the moment that fat finger hit the floor." :)
