Author's POV

"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" Camille whined from the backseat with her hands over her eyes. Cheryl and Kimberley don't want her to figure out where they're going just yet.

"You will find out, now stop peeking!" Kimberley said as she saw Camille looking through her hands.

"We'll be there in five minutes and make sure to keep your eyes closed the whole time!" Cheryl told Camille off and tried to get her to calm down. She knows that Camille isn't really a surprise-type person.

The couple and their clueless daughter finally got to their destination. Cheryl and Kimberley got out of the car and helped Camille walk. They went up to the front door of the building and let Camille open her eyes.

"The animal shelter?" Camille asked, not knowing what her parents are playing at.

"What have you said you've always wanted?" Kimberley asked, making Camille jump up and down with excitement.

"You're gonna get me a cat?!" Camille excitedly smiled at her mothers.  Kimberley and Cheryl's hearts melted at her wide and dimpled smile.

"You can go in there and choose one cat.  Only one." Cheryl said as she held up one finger to Camille.  She had a feeling that Camille will go in there and want to take home every cat.

The three girls walked into the shelter and up to the front desk.  The woman at the desk seemed impatient, but that didn't crush Camille's mood.

"Hi, we'd like to adopt a cat today." Cheryl said to the woman, noticing her depressed mood.  The woman wordlessly printed out a form and gave it to Cheryl, letting her fill it out.

"Cats are in the back." The woman emotionlessly pointed to a door and instructed them to go that way.  Cheryl led the way as Kimberley grabbed her excited daughter's hand.

"Hi, welcome to the London Animal Shelter.  What are we looking for today?" The woman waiting at the door was much more cheerful and younger.  Cheryl told the young employee that they wanted to adopt a cat, preferably a kitten.

"Okay, we have some rooms in the back.  All the cats are separated by age in the rooms, so the first two doors will be your best bet.  If you like any of them and are interested, you can come tell me!" The woman said before she showed the Tweedy-Walsh family the rooms full of cats.  She opened the door to one of the first rooms and let them step in.

Camille almost fainted as she saw a bunch of adorable kittens playing around in the room. Cheryl couldn't stop smiling at the grin on her daughters face. Kimberley joined Camille in picking up a few of the kittens.

"I don't know if I can choose just one!" Camille sighed as she played with some of the kittens. She picked up a plastic stick that had a fake ball of yarn on the end. The kittens batted at the ball of yarn as Camille swung it above them. The three girls giggled and decided to go to the other room.

"Ready for the second room?" The young girl made them put on hand sanitizer and let them in the second room. They walked in and Cheryl and Kimberley started playing with a few of the cats. Cheryl has always been a dog person, but she can't help but find the kittens absolutely adorable.
