The man stared at the screen after his reply disappeared into the ether, contemplating whether to attempt to trace Yardy29C or leave that to Hannah, and even after twenty seconds he was already impatient for her to reply.

Scratching under the tabby's chin, Todd patted his knee, and smiled when the cat jumped in his lap. "Do you know you you're the only living creature I've ever kissed with affection?"
